Stand by me book

Directed by Rob Reiner, ‘Stand By Me’ is a coming-of-age drama film about four young friends, Gordie, Chris, Teddy, and Vern, as they embark upon a mission to look for the body of a missing 12-year-old kid named Ray Brower, who lost his life in an accident.

As they search for Brower’s corpse, the quest takes them through bittersweet experiences that provide a sense of danger that comes with maturity and metamorphosis and it becomes a journey of self-discovery for the four preteens.

Set in Oregon in the summer of 1959, the story is brought to life by the compelling performances of Wil Wheaton, River Phoenix, Jerry O’Connell, Corey Feldman, Kiefer Sutherland, John Cusack, and Richard Dreyfuss.

Over the years, the Academy Award-nominated 1986 film has received a lot of acclaim and is considered one of the greatest films of all time.
