Writer Gordie Lachance reads in the newspaper that a man has been stabbed in a restaurant. Gordie writes a memoir of a childhood incident when he, his best friend, Chris Chambers, and two buddies journeyed to find the body of a missing boy near the town of Castle Rock, Oregon during the Labor Day holiday weekend in September 1959.Stand by Me 1986 Movie Download.
Twelve-year-old Gordie’s parents are too busy grieving the recent death of older brother Denny to pay any attention to Gordie. Gordie’s friends are Chris, Teddy Duchamp, and Vern Tessio. While looking for money that he buried beneath his parents’ porch, Vern overhears his older brother Billy talking with his friend Charlie. Recently, Billy and Charlie saw the body of a missing boy named Ray Brower outside of town near train tracks and a river. Billy does not want to report the body because it could draw attention to the fact he and Charlie recently stole a car. When Vern tells Gordie, Chris, and Teddy, the four boys—hoping to become local heroes—decide to go looking for the body. After Chris steals his father’s pistol, he and Gordie run into local hoodlum “Ace” Merrill and Chris’s older brother, “Eyeball” Chambers. Ace threatens Chris with a lit cigarette and steals Gordie’s Yankees cap, which was a gift from Gordie’s late brother.
The four boys begin their journey. After stopping at a junkyard for a drink of water, they are caught trespassing by owner Milo Pressman and his dog, Chopper. They escape over a fence, and Milo calls Teddy’s mentally ill father a “loony” and taunts him about it; Teddy, enraged, tries to attack him but is restrained by the other boys. The four continue their hike, and Chris encourages Gordie to fulfill his potential as a writer despite his father’s disapproval. When they cross a railroad bridge, the boys are nearly killed by an approaching train. Vern, who is farthest behind, has an opportunity to jump off but panic sets in until he is saved by Gordie.
