Summary:
After Steven Spielberg's Raiders of the Lost Ark was released 35 years ago, 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 shot-for-shot adaptation of the adventure film. They finished every scene...except one: the explosive airplane set piece. The trio reunited two decades later with the original cast members in order to complete their masterpiece.
