In a small woodsy Oregon town, a group of friends - sensitive Gordie, tough-guy Chris, and flamboyant Teddy are in search of a missing teenager's body. Wanting to be heroes in each others' and their hometown's eyes, they set out on an unforgettable two-day trek that turns into an odyssey of self-discovery. They sneak smokes, tell tall tales, and band together when the going gets tough. When they encounter the town's knife-wielding hoods who are also after the body, the boys discover a strength they never knew they had. Stand By Me is a rare and special film about friendship and the experiences of growing up. Filmed with humour and suspense, it is based on the Stephen King novella 'The Body'.
