Directed by Rob Reiner, this coming-of-age film is based on Stephen King's novella "The Body." The story follows four young boys—Gordie, Chris, Teddy, and Vern—as they set out on a journey to find the body of a missing boy in the Oregon woods. Along the way, they confront personal fears, form strong bonds, and gain a deeper understanding of themselves and each other. The film is celebrated for its poignant storytelling, memorable performances, and its exploration of friendship and the transition from childhood to adolescence.
