Stand By Me

Rob Reiner directs this drama based on the novella 'The Body' by Stephen King.

Upon hearing that an old friend has died, a writer (Richard Dreyfuss) reminisces about his childhood in the 1950s.

As a twelve-year-old boy, Gordie (Wil Wheaton)'s friends consisted of Chris (River Phoenix), Teddy (Corey Feldman) and Vern (Jerry O'Connell).

When the latter hears his older brother bragging that his gang have seen the dead body of a local missing person by the railway track, the four boys set out to find the corpse for themselves.
