Based on Stephen King’s 1982 work of fiction, The Body from A Fantastic Adventure for All Seasons, the movie tells the story of four teenagers in a small town with troubled families who embark on an adventure to find the body of a missing boy.
The movie is a simple but powerful story that teaches us that teenage friendships are so precious that even as time passes, those moments spent together become some of the most valuable parts of our memories.
1986 / USA / Drama Children Adventure / Rob Reiner / Revan Phoenix Will Wheaton
This is a movie about growing up.
The famous writer Gordy (Richard Dreyfuss) recalls an adventure he had when he was 12 years old: at that time, the young Gordy (Wil Wheaton), with his three sidekicks Chris (RiverPhoenix ), Teddy (Corey Feldman), and Verne are on a “hero’s” quest to find the body of a 12-year-old boy in the woods on the other side of the river.
The four teenage families each have their own problems, and they all have their own preoccupations.
During the journey, each of their personalities is brought to life: the weakness and strength of the four boys is maximized in a series of actions such as dodging trains, climbing through iron gates, and crossing the forest; and each has his own unattainable dreams. ……1 Nominated for Best Picture and Best Director at the 1987 Golden Globes and nominated for Best Screenplay at the 1987 Oscars.
