About the film
Meet Gordie, Chris, Teddy, and Vern: four young friends who embark on a journey of curiosity one summer in the 1950’s to go see the dead body of another local boy that lies somewhere in the woods beyond the town. They believe that, by discovering the body, they’ll be hailed as local heroes. Along the way, they share adventures, tell each other jokes, and chide one another the way that boys do in adolescence. When they finally reach their destination, however, the gang gets more than they bargained for — the dead body is tied somehow to a larger local crime, and “Ace”, the town outlaw, has also shown up to claim credit himself for finding the victim. This leads to a showdown that ultimately proves to be a rite of passage for the group of youngsters and a story none of them will ever forget.
Released in 1986 and directed by the late-great Rob Reiner, Stand By Me was one of the first films to demonstrate a different, less horror-centric side of Stephen King’s story-telling prowess. Still considered by many to be one of the best adaptations of King’s work, this classic coming-of-age film features breakout performances from young actors Kiefer Sutherland, River Phoenix, Corey Feldman, Wil Wheaton, and Jerry O’Connell – all of whom would later go on to have notable careers in film and television.
