"Goonies never say die!" Facing the loss of their homes to the encroachment of greedy country clubbers, an intrepid gang of kids in the Goon Docks area of Astoria, Oregon, sets off in search of the treasure of legendary pirate One-Eyed Willy, the original "Goonie." Directed by Richard Donner (SUPERMAN) from a screenplay by Chris Columbus (the first two HARRY POTTERs, HOME ALONE, MRS. DOUBTFIRE) and produced by Steven Spielberg, 1985's THE GOONIES is representative of that era's intense focus on youth entertainment, with top filmmaking talent cranking out a kind of tween-age RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK. The outstanding young cast includes Sean Astin, Corey Feldman, Jeff Cohen and Ke Huy Quan as the treasure hunting friends, with older teens Josh Brolin, Kerri Green and Martha Plimpton tagging along. DIR/PROD Richard Donner; SCR Chris Columbus, from a story by Steven Spielberg; PROD Harvey Bernhard. U.S., 1985, color, 114 min. RATED PG
