Stand by Me backdrop

Stand by Me 1986 Directed by Rob Reiner

For some, it's the last real taste of innocence, and the first real taste of life.

After learning that a boy their age has been accidentally killed near their rural homes, four Oregon boys decide to go see the body. On the way, Gordie, Vern, Chris and Teddy encounter a mean junk man and a marsh full of leeches, as they also learn more about one another and their very different home lives. Just a lark at first, the boys' adventure evolves into a defining event in their lives.
