The decade opened with Airport (1970), the all-star disaster epic that became a surprise smash and set off a wave of big-spectacle disaster films. Just a few years later came The Sting (1973), a Depression-era caper with Paul Newman and Robert Redford that swept 7 Oscars, including Best Picture, restoring Universal’s prestige. That same year, George Lucas’s American Graffiti captured teen nostalgia on a shoestring budget, grossing more than $200M and launching the careers of Harrison Ford and Ron Howard. Universal doubled down on spectacle with Earthquake (1974), famous for debuting Sensurround, massive subwoofers that made theaters rumble with on-screen tremors. And then came Jaws (1975): Steven Spielberg’s shark thriller that redefined how Hollywood released films. With heavy TV advertising and a wide national rollout, it became the first true summer blockbuster, grossing $260M and forever changing the industry. The 1970s also transformed Universal into a tourist destination. The Studio Tour added crowd-pleasers like the Flash Flood, the Parting of the Red Sea, and in 1976, “Jaws Lake,” where trams rolled past a mechanical shark. Over 4 million visitors a year came to see Hollywood magic up close, making the studio lot itself an attraction.
