One of the most popular episodes of AMCs old BACKSTORY series takes a look at one of the greatest filmic success stories of the 1980s, ROMANCING THE STONE was a dream come true for all involved: from first time screenwriter Diane Thomas, to producer Michael Douglas (taking on the role of action hero actor for the first time), and director Robert Zemeckis (who years before BACK TO FUTURE, ROGER RABBIT and FLIGHT) was considered a long shot commercially unviable film maker.
