Film on the Rocks is an annual series organized by Denver Film and Denver Arts & Venues. The event aims to provide film fanatics with a whole new way to experience their favorite movies. The vast landscape and rock formations give audiences a fantastic background as they want the film on a state-of-the-art screen and audio experience. After the worst of the pandemic was over, Film on the Rocks finally returned to the amphitheater last year. The venue has hosted a series of drive-in shows in the past. But this 2023, movie fans can watch the film at the venue’s bleachers. Film on the Rocks will have its very first screening on June 12, featuring the epic adventure movie Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark.

The 1981 film is regarded as one of the most iconic movies to come out during the ‘80s. Raiders of the Lost Ark was the first of what would be a massive Indiana Jones film franchise. The movie featured an impressive cast led by multi-award-winning actor Harrison Ford. Besides a line-up of fantastic actors, the creative team behind the movie includes industry giants, such as award-winning director Steven Spielberg, screenplay writer Lawrence Kasdan, producer Frank Marshall, and Grammy Award-winning film music composer John Williams. Let’s not forget that this story was conceptualized and written by Star Wars creators George Lucas and Philip Kauffman.

With a budget of 20 million dollars, the film grossed over 389 million dollars, becoming the highest-grossing film of 1981. The film’s impact on popular culture resulted in the United States Library of Congress preserving the film in the National Film Registry. After the success of Raiders of the Lost Ark, the Indiana Jones franchise followed up with Temple of Doom, Last Crusade, Kingdom of Crystal Skull, and the latest installment, Dial of Destiny.

Apart from Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, Film on the Rocks will also feature iconic films on other dates. The selection includes Top Gun Maverick, Mama Mia, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, and Star Wars: Return of the Jedi.
