Phantom Raiders is a 1940 film, the second in the series starring Walter Pidgeon as detective Nick Carter. The film was part of a movie trilogy based on original stories featuring the character from the long-running Nick Carter, Detective literary series. In the heightened tensions prior to World War II, Hollywood produced many films in the spy film genre such as Phantom Raiders.[2]

Phantom Raiders followed the first film in the series, Nick Carter, Master Detective (1939) and led to Sky Murder (1941), the last of the Nick Carter films.[N 1]
