As the movie continues, the plot evolves very well. Wolfgang Müller (River Phoenix) is the intelligent creator of complex things, Ben Crandall (Ethan Hawke) is the dreamer but his intelligence is not to be underestimated and Darren Woods (Jason Presson) is a normal, but a bit lonely, kid who happened to stumble into Ben's life and sees the opportunity to 'escape' from or rather to forget his problems at home for a while. The movies introduces the three main characters very well each having their own background with their own unique capabilities. So last night I eventually got to watch "Explorers".
Being born in the 80's myself and interested in the teen/adventure movies like "Stand By Me" and "The Goonies", I learned about "Explorers" which also featured the late River Phoenix. The idea of watching this movie came after seeing "Stand By Me" and learning more about River Phoenix' accomplishments.
