How can sound be created by only using the amplitude of a wave form (such as sound-on-film)?

In this picture you can see the waveform of the audio track on film, but how in the world can you create sound from just a amplitude?:

i understand how sound can be reproduced like on speakers and such, Does a image of a wave form ACTUALLY contain audio data?

Yes. Sound is local pressure, and you can only ever have one local pressure at a time. Sound can also have direction information, but we don’t usually encode that any more than just having two channels.
