The Goonies

The Goonies was a hit movie in 1985, produced and originated by Steven Spielberg, and directed by Richard Donner, with the screenplay written by Chris Columbus from Spielberg's story. It was an escapist film for teenagers about a band of misfit kids from a section of Astoria, Oregon called the "Goon Docks."

Plot summary

When local developers want to buy the entire Goon Docks to demolish and convert into a golf course, a group of kids who call themselves "Goonies" decide to have one last adventure together. They follow an old treasure map that leads them into a series of underground caverns built in the 1600s by a legendary pirate named "One-Eyed" Willie. They eventually find Willie's ship and the lost booty, but along the way they are followed and hunted down by a group of criminals called the Fratellis. While the Goonies try to escape them, the Fratellis accidentally set off a booby trap that demolishes the cave and lets Willie's ship sail free. Luckily, Mikey's marble bag held a handful of large precious stones, saving the Goon Docks from its golf course future.
