Stand by Me

"IF I COULD ONLY HAVE ONE FOOD TO EAT FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE?" "THAT'S EASY. PEZ. CHERRY FLAVOR PEZ. NO QUESTION ABOUT IT."

After learning that a boy their age has been accidentally killed near their rural homes, four boys decide to go see the body. Gordie, Vern, Chris, and Teddy encounter a mean junk man and a marsh full of leeches, but 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.
