Rob Reiner's 1986 film, from Stephen King's novella. In the summer of 1959, four boys from the small town of Castle Rock, Oregon, set out along the railroad tracks on a two-day trek to find the body of a missing boy. Their journey through the woods - dodging a train on a trestle, a leech-filled swamp, and a bullying older gang - becomes a passage out of childhood none of them will forget.
