What do Rambo, Star Wars, Back to the Future and Indiana Jones have in common? The answer is Drew Struzan. This iconic Hollywood poster artist is responsible for more than 150 movie posters since 1977. It was his talent that brought posters into the spotlight and made them recognizable as a genuine art form as well as a marketing device. Sharkey’s film features interviews with Struzan and his family as well as famous directors he worked with, including Steven Spielberg and George Lucas. Harrison Ford and Michael J. Fox also chime in with opinions and impressions of Struzan’s work.
