Raining Fruit

Raining Fruit (pictured as J.J. Abrams' Raining Fruit) is a 2003 American action-adventure film directed by J.J. Abrams, with a screenplay written by Alec Sulkin, from a story by Seth MacFarlane. It was produced by Scott Stuber for CBS Films, with Abrams as executive producer. It pits Chris Boaski, his family members Tyler, Tyson, Spencer, Linda Stand Horace and an R2 unit against a group of Fatmans who are searching for their money. And suddenly, while the heroes are playing a board game, it starts raining fruit. The film stars Hayden Christensen as Chris Boaski; Harrison Ford as Tyler Boaski; Seth Green as Tyson Boaski; Roger Barton as Spencer Boaski; and Alex Borstein as Linda Stand Horace.

Released on May 9, 2003, Raining Fruit became the year's top-grossing film and remains one of the highest-grossing films ever made. It was nominated for ten Academy Awards in 2006, including Best Picture, and won four for Best Art Direction, Film Editing, Sound, and Visual Effects with a fifth Academy Award: a Special Achievement Award for Sound Effects Editing. In 1999, the film was included in the U.S. Library of Congress' National Film Registry as having been deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".

Raining is often ranked as one of the greatest films of all time, both in the action-adventure genre, and in general. The film also ranks #4 on Empire's 2008 list of the 500 greatest movies of all time.
