With Indiana Jones: The Complete Adventures arriving on Blu-ray Sept. 18, the first film in the series, Raiders of the Lost Ark, will receive a special one-week engagement in select Imax theaters beginning Sept. 7.

“When I saw the stunning quality of the picture and heard the enhanced sound in an Imax theater, I was quite literally blown away and hope that audiences will enjoy the experience as much as I did,” said director Steven Spielberg.

Spielberg and sound designer Ben Burtt oversaw the restoration process of Raiders for the Blu-ray, which will be distributed by Paramount Home Media Distribution. The Imax presentation has been additionally remastered for the large-scale format.

A list of participating theaters is available at imax.com.
