The true story of how two fans re-created a beloved movie shot by shot over seven years.

Raiders! is a Spielberg-ian story about trying to remake a Spielberg movie. In June 1982, Chris Strompolos and Eric Zala, middle schoolers from the Mississippi town of Gulfport, set out to do a shot-by-shot remake of Raiders of the Lost Ark in their backyard (later joined by third friend Jayson Lamb). It took seven years to complete, but they did it.
