DESCRIPTIONS:
A boy obsessed with '50s sci-fi movies about aliens has a recurring dream about a blueprint of some kind, which he draws for his inventor friend. With the help of a third kid, they follow it and build themselves a spaceship. Now what?


This space adventure stars Ethan Hawke and River Phoenix as misfit best friends whose dreams of space travel become a reality when they create an interplanetary spacecraft in their homemade laboratory. Ben Crandall (Ethan Hawke) is a young visionary who dreams of space travel while watching late-night B monster movies, pouring over comic books, and playing Galaga in the confines of his bedroom. But one night he has a vivid dream of flying over a space-like circuit board and shares his visions with his best friend Wolfgang Muller  a young scientific genius who is able to translate his dreams into a complex computer program that actually works. With the help of their new friend Darren Woods, they create a homemade spacecraft and embark on a secret adventure to another galaxy where they find that things are not always as different as they seem.


Ben Crandall (Ethan Hawke) is a young teenage boy living in the suburbs of Washington, D.C., who experience vivid dreams about flying through clouds and over a vast, city-like circuit board, usually after falling asleep watching 1950s sci-fi movies (The War of the Worlds (1953) is a favorite). Every night, upon waking from the dream, he draws the circuit board. Ben shows the sketches to his friend, child prodigy Wolfgang Muller (River Phoenix). At school, Ben develops a crush on Lori Swenson (Amanda Peterson), but he isn't sure whether it's mutual. Both boys meet punkish-but-likable Darren Woods (Jason Presson), with whom they share their circuit-board concepts. Wolfgang builds an actual microchip based on Ben's drawings. The chip enables the generation of an electromagnetic bubble which surrounds a pre-determined area. As the boys discover, the bubble is capable of moving at near-limitless distances and speeds without the usual effect from inertia. They construct a rudimentary spacecraft out of an abandoned Tilt-A-Whirl car; they named their ship the Thunder Road, after Bruce Springsteen's song of the same title. Their experiments with the Thunder Road draw attention from the United States government, which sends agents to scout the area for UFOs. [...]

AI OVERVIEW:

Explorers (1985)

Explorers is a 109-minute science fantasy adventure film released on July 12, 1985. Directed by Joe Dante, the movie is famous for being the theatrical feature film debut of both Ethan Hawke and River Phoenix.

Plot Overview

The story follows three young boys—Ben, Wolfgang, and Darren. After Ben experiences a vivid blueprint in a dream, Wolfgang builds a working electromagnetic circuit that generates a frictionless force sphere. Together, they construct a makeshift spacecraft out of an old Tilt-A-Whirl car (christened the Thunder Road) and launch themselves into space, where they encounter eccentric, pop-culture-obsessed extraterrestrials.

Key Facts & Behind-the-Scenes

  • Rushed Production: Paramount Pictures forced Joe Dante to halt editing to meet a mid-July release date. As a result, the movie was never properly finished to Dante's liking.
  • Box Office Flop to Cult Classic: It flopped heavily in theaters, grossing only $9.9 million against a $20–25 million budget. However, it found a massive second life and a strong cult following on VHS and home video.
  • Industry Heavyweights: Special effects were designed by George Lucas's Industrial Light & Magic (ILM), while makeup was handled by legendary effects artist Rob Bottin.



Cute boys! Recommended just for that!
