This quintessential coming-of-age tale, based on a short story by Stephen King, is heavy on nostalgia but mostly devoid of misty-eyed sentimentality. The plot centres on a journey made by four friends searching for the body of a missing local boy and the impact the journey has upon them. The great young cast is bolstered by John Cusack, Kiefer Sutherland and Richard Dreyfuss.
