On Nov. 15, 2013, 5-year-old Miles Scott brought a city, and really an entire nation, together when he transformed into Batkid and saved San Francisco from comic-book villains. A year and a half later, Miles's once-in-a-lifetime day will be shared with the world in a new documentary, Batkid Begins. The film not only tells the story of Miles's fight against leukemia and his Make-A-Wish dream to be "the real Batman," but it looks at how the story went viral — two billion people followed Batkid on social media that day — and inspired people around the world to give back.

If the official trailer, released today, is any indication, we advise you to bring the entire tissue box to the theater when it opens in select cities on June 26 — because the two-minute video has us bawling! Watch it above, and check out the poster for the flick below — it was created by the same artist that made the iconic Star Wars and Indiana Jones posters over the years.
