Raiders!: The Story of the Greatest Fan Film Ever Made

A Mississippi basement in 1982. Three eleven-year-old boys began a project that would consume their summers for the next seven years. Their mission: to recreate Steven Spielberg’s entire *Raiders of the Lost Ark*, shot-for-shot, with no budget and boundless ingenuity. This 2015 documentary chronicles their childhood obsession and their adult return to film the one epic stunt that always eluded them. It’s a hilarious and heartfelt testament to the pure, chaotic magic of filmmaking, capturing a story of friendship, fandom, and the stubborn refusal to ever grow up.
