Summary: The Goonies are a crazy bunch of misfit kids whose only hope of saving their neighbourhood from greedy developers who want to use the area to build a new golf course, is to find the lost treasure of a 17th Century pirate. With only a dusty map and their spirit of adventure they set off. A thrill-a-minute adventure film which finds brothers Mikey (played by Sean Astin) and Brand (played by Josh Brolin) taking on the fight when they see their family being forced to move out. They and their friends decide to have one last, precious adventure together. With the help of a treasure map that they've found in the attic, the group, known as the Goonies, go in search of buried gold hoping against hope that if they find it, Mikey and Brand will succeed in keeping their home. But the Fratelli family are out of jail and now Mikey and Brand are also taking part in a game of cat and mouse.

You may be surprised to discover that the director of the Lethal Weaponmovies and scary horror flick The Omen, Richard Donner, also produced and directed this classic children's adventure (which, by the way, was written by Donner's screen-wizard friend Steven Spielberg). Then again you may not. The Goonies, like Donner's other movies, is the same story of good versus evil. It has its share of bad guys (the Fratelli brothers and their villainous mother), reluctant-hero good guys (the Walsh bothers and their gang of friends), and lots of corny one-liners. Like in an old-fashioned Hardy Boys or Nancy Drew plot, the Goonies need to solve a problem: a corrupt corporate developer has bought out their neighbourhood and plans to flatten all their homes. Luckily, the beloved gang stumbles on a treasure map. In the hopes of finding the treasure to buy back their houses, the Goonies embark on their quest through underground passages, aboard pirate ships, and behind waterfalls. This swashbuckling and rollicking ride was also a great breeding ground for a couple of child actors who went on to enjoy numerous successes in adulthood: Sean Astin (Rudy, Encino Man) and Martha Plimpton (Pecker, 200 Cigarettes). --Samantha Allen Storey, Amazon.com
