In a small woodsy Oregon town, a group of friends—sensitive Gordie, tough guy Chris, flamboyant Teddy, and scaredy-cat Vern—-are in search of a missing teenager’s body. Wanting to be heroes in each other’s and their hometown’s eyes, they set out on an unforgettable two-day trek.

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.
