"Free Hat" is the ninth episode of the sixth season of the American animated television series South Park.
The episode was written by series co-creator Trey Parker, and was originally rated TV-MA in the United States; it was re-rated TV-14 in 2020.
In response, they resolve to prevent any further changes to the films by apprehending their directors, while also catering to a group demanding the release of a convicted child murderer after they misconstrue a notice written on their club's sign.
At a movie theater, Kyle, Stan, Cartman and Tweek express contempt at Steven Spielberg and George Lucas altering their films prior to their reissue to "make them more PC".
However, the attendees misconstrue the incentive and believe that the club supports the release of Hat McCullough, who was convicted of murdering twenty-three infants.
Meanwhile, Spielberg and Lucas, now joined by Francis Ford Coppola, travel to the premiere in a convoy with the film's print enclosed in an ark being carried.
In a parody of Raiders' climax, the altered film kills Spielberg, Lucas, Coppola, and the assembled audience before sealing itself inside the ark.
"[1] "Free Hat," along with the sixteen other episodes from South Park's sixth season, were released on a three-disc DVD set in the United States on October 11, 2005.
