Caine's Arcade is an 11-minute short documentary film directed by Nirvan Mullick, released on April 9, 2012. The film documents a cardboard arcade created by then 9-year-old Caine Monroy, operated from his father's auto parts store in East Los Angeles in mid-2011. Mullick encountered the arcade by chance while purchasing a door handle for his car. After becoming Caine's first customer by purchasing a $2 Fun Pass, Mullick decided to create a documentary highlighting Caine's work and dedication to his arcade.

Following its upload to YouTube, the short film quickly gained popularity and went viral. In response, numerous individuals contributed to a college fund established by Mullick for Caine. The film's success also led to the creation of similar cardboard arcades in schools worldwide and inspired the formation of the Imagination Foundation, a non-profit organization focused on fostering creativity and entrepreneurship in young people globally.
