Stand by Me is a 1986 American coming of age comedy-drama adventure film directed by Rob Reiner and starring Wil Wheaton, River Phoenix, Corey Feldman and Jerry O'Connell. Based on the novella The Body, written by Stephen King, the title is derived from the Ben E. King song of the same name, which plays over the end credits. The film tells the story of four boys who go on a hike across the countryside to find the dead body of a missing child. In 1985, after reading a newspaper article about the death of his old friend, author Gordie Lachance recalls a childhood journey to find the body of a missing boy near the (fictional) town of Castle Rock, Oregon, (in the book it is in Maine), over Labor Day weekend in 1959. Young Gordie was a quiet, bookish boy with a penchant for writing and telling stories. He is rejected by his father after the death of his football-star older brother Denny, who had paid more attention to Gordie than his parents did. Gordie spends his time with three friends: Chris Chambers, who is from a family of criminals and alcoholics and is usually stereotyped accordingly, even though he does not conform to the perceptions and stigmas attached to his family; Teddy Duchamp, who is eccentric and physically scarred after his mentally unstable father held his ear to a stove; and Vern Tessio, who is overweight, timid, and often the target of bullying. Vern overhears his older brother Billy and his friend Charlie Hogan talking about finding the body of Ray Brower, who was killed after being struck by a train while picking blueberries in the woods. Brower was a boy whose disappearance and subsequent police search was a big news story in Castle Rock. Gordie, Chris, Teddy, and Vern decide to embark upon a hiking journey following the local rail line to see if they can find Ray's body and become local heroes. On the day the boys are suppose to start their journey, Gordie and Chris are confronted by teenaged thug "Ace" Merrill and Chris's older brother, Eyeball; Ace steals Gordie's hat and threatens Chris with a lit cigarette, but are let go unharmed. The boys set out, first encountering Milo Pressman and his dog Chopper when they pause to fill their canteens from a well located in Milo's junkyard. They then walk along a train bridge and Vern and Gordie are nearly run over by a passing train. At the end of the day, the boys set up camp and Gordie tells his friends a story that he made up about an obese, unpopular boy named Davie "Lard Ass" Hogan (the subject of the story gets revenge on the town for bullying him by making them vomit on each other during The Great Tri-County Pie-Eating contest). Later on in the night, Chris reveals to Gordie his fear of being stereotyped as a criminal due to his alcoholic, lawbreaking family and becoming a failure as a result. The next morning, the boys continue by taking a short-cut through a swamp only to discover that it is infested with leeches. While hurriedly removing them from each other, Gordie briefly faints after finding one in his underwear, causing the other boys to wonder if they should go on. Gordie ends up being the decisive one, knowing that they have put in too much work not to see the body. They locate the body and it reminds Gordie that his father loved his brother more than him. At this point, Ace and his gang consisting of "Eyeball," Vince Desjardins, Charlie Hogan, Billy Tessio and two other hoodlums show up in their cars to take the body (and the credit for finding it). When Chris insults him, Ace pulls out a pocket knife with the intention of murdering the boys, but Gordie threatens him with an M1911 pistol that Chris had stolen from his father. Ace and his gang leave, but not before Ace vows to extract revenge on the boys. Gordie decides that no one will get credit for finding the dead body and reports it via an anonymous phone call to the authorities. The boys hike back to Castle Rock, say goodbye and expect to see each other the next week as freshmen in high school. Gordie states that the friends drifted apart shortly thereafter. Vern got married immediately after high school, had four sons and became a forklift driver at a local lumber yard. Teddy tried to join the Army, but was denied entry because of his poor eyesight and ear injury. He eventually served a prison sentence and was now doing odd jobs around Castle Rock. Chris was able to stick it out and get by in the advanced classes with Gordie and later moved out of Castle Rock and became a lawyer. However, as revealed in the opening scene, Chris was stabbed in the throat and killed when he attempted to intervene in a fight in a fast food restaurant the week before the present day scenes took place. Gordie then finishes his memoir, and takes his son and his son's friend swimming.
