San Antonio native Robert Rodriguez is marking the 25th anniversary of his film Spy Kids. The 2001 movie featured young heroes as action stars, a concept that was unique at the time.

Dimension Films supported the project, recognizing its potential. The film's success can be attributed to its fresh take on the adventure genre, which had previously included movies like The Goonies and The Monster Squad.

Further details about the anniversary and a special screening are available from the San Antonio Current, which recently spoke with Rodriguez about the milestone.
