''Stand by Me'' is a 1986 American coming of age drama adventure film directed by Rob Reiner and starring Wil Wheaton, River Phoenix, Corey Feldman, and Jerry O'Connell. Based on Stephen King's novella ''The Body'' the title is derived from the Ben E. King song of the same name, which plays over the opening and end credits. The film tells the story of four boys who go on a hike across the countryside to view the dead body of a missing child. ==Plot== Author Gordie Lachance (Richard Dreyfuss) recalls a childhood journey to view the body of a missing boy near the (fictional) town of Castle Rock, Oregon over Labor Day weekend in 1959. Gordie (Wil Wheaton) was a quiet, bookish boy with a penchant for writing and telling stories. He spends his time with three friends: Chris Chambers (River Phoenix), who is from a family of criminals and alcoholics; Teddy Duchamp (Corey Feldman), who is eccentric and physically scarred; and Vern Tessio (Jerry O'Connell), who is overweight, timid, and often the target of bullying. After Vern overhears his older brother, Billy (Casey Siemaszko), and Billy's friend, Charlie Hogan (Gary Riley), talking about finding the body of Ray Brower, who was killed after being struck by a train, Gordie, Chris, Teddy, and Vern decide to embark upon a hiking journey following the local rail line, to see if they can find Ray's body and become local heroes. After they locate the body, local bully Ace Merrill (Kiefer Sutherland) who regularly targets the boys, and his gang consisting of Chris' older brother "Eyeball" (Bradley Gregg) and five other hoodlums, show up in their cars to take the body (and the credit for finding it). When Gordie makes it clear that he is willing to kill Ace (with a stolen pistol), Ace and his gang finally leave. Gordie decides that no one will get credit for finding the dead body and reports it via an anonymous phone call to the authorities. The boys hike back to Castle Rock, bid each other farewell, and expect to see each other in two days, as seventh graders in junior high. Gordie states that the friends drifted apart shortly thereafter. In the closing scenes, Gordie finishes his memoir and takes his son and his son's friend swimming. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stand by Me (film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
