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

In 1982, three 11-year-olds in Mississippi set out to remake their favorite film, Raiders of the Lost Ark. What followed was seven turbulent years that tested the limits of their friendship and nearly burned down their mother's house. In the end, they completed every scene except one—the explosive airplane sequence. Three decades later, they finally pursue their childhood dream by building a full-scale replica of the 75-foot Flying Wing plane from Raiders, set in a muddy pit in the backwoods of Mississippi, and then blowing it up. This is the story behind the making of what is known as the greatest fan film ever made.
