En un pequeño pueblo de Oregón, cuatro amigos salen de la ciudad en busca de un muchacho desaparecido. Jugando a ser héroes, el sentimental Gordie, el rudo Chris, el extravagante Teddy y el miedoso Vern se encaminan en medio de un ambiente hostil totalmente solos.
Rob Reiner (The Princess Bride, This Is Spinal Tap) directed this coming-of-age classic, which even author Stephen King considered to be the finest adaptation of his own work. Stand By Me still exceeds its own hype with a strong sense of time and place, a perfect cast, and vast feeling.
