This story has been out there for a little while, but as Raiders Of The Lost Ark celebrates its 35th birthday this week, we thought we’d share this recently released shot-for-shot trailer for the Raiders Of The Lost Ark fan film which sees a release in the United States later this week.
Three 11-year-old boys from Mississippi set out on what would become a 7-year-long labor of love and tribute to their favorite film: a faithful, shot-for-shot adaptation of the action adventure film. They finished every scene…except one; the film’s explosive airplane set piece.
Over two decades later, the trio reunited with the original cast members from their childhood in order to complete their masterpiece. Featuring interviews with John Rhys Davies, Eli Roth and more, RAIDERS!: THE STORY OF THE GREATEST FAN FILM EVER MADE is just that: the story of this long-gestating project’s culmination, chronicling the friends’ dedication to their artistic vision—mixed in with some movie magic—to create a personal, epic love letter to a true modern classic.
Drafthouse Films are set to release a documentary about the making of the fan film in the United States in theatres and on-demand later this week (June 17th), and here’s the fantastic trailer for it in all of its glory.

The Raiders Of The Lost Ark fan film is actually titled Raiders: The Story Of The Greatest Fan Film Ever Made, and it even has a Drew Struzan-style poster courtesy of the Paul Shipper Studio, which is equally as impressive as the original.
