Take a hilarious trip back to Camp Firewood with this colorful 5" x 25" theater-style mylar featuring the beloved 2001 cult comedy Wet Hot American Summer!
Directed by David Wain and co-written by Wain and Michael Showalter, Wet Hot American Summer takes place on the final day of summer camp in 1981, where the counselors and campers of Camp Firewood are determined to make the most of their final hours before heading home.
From complicated romances and ridiculous personal dramas to the legendary talent show and an unexpected threat from above, absolutely everything seems to be happening at Camp Firewood. The film's outrageous humor and deliberately over-the-top take on summer camp became a favorite among comedy and cult-film fans.
Wet Hot American Summer features an incredible ensemble cast including Paul Rudd, Amy Poehler, Bradley Cooper, Elizabeth Banks, Christopher Meloni, Janeane Garofalo, David Hyde Pierce, Molly Shannon, and Michael Showalter.
Originally released in 2001, the film has developed a passionate cult following and has become one of the most recognizable comedy films of its era. Its absurd characters, memorable one-liners, bizarre situations, and nostalgic summer-camp setting have made it a perennial favorite.
This fantastic theater-style design captures the unmistakable look of the original theatrical artwork, featuring the colorful group of Camp Firewood characters piled into a classic station wagon alongside the enormous patriotic WET HOT AMERICAN SUMMER title treatment. The three lines of text on the right — “It was the last day of summer camp. It was the first day of the third week in August. It was twenty-five years ago!” — perfectly complement the 25th-anniversary theatrical celebration.
To celebrate the film's 25th anniversary, Focus Features brought Wet Hot American Summer back to theaters for a limited theatrical run in August 2026, giving fans the opportunity to experience the cult comedy on the big screen once again.
These long, narrow banners were traditionally displayed above the entrances to movie theater auditoriums and are a unique form of theatrical advertising. Their distinctive 5" x 25" format makes them especially appealing to movie memorabilia collectors, comedy fans, and home theater enthusiasts.
Printed on flexible backlit material, this mylar can be displayed as-is or illuminated from behind for an impressive lightbox presentation.
