A group of childhood friends band together to find a pirate’s ancient treasure in order to save their “Goon Docks” neighborhood from being razed and developed into a golf course. And we all know, Goonies never give up and never say “die!”
An epic adventure of subterranean caverns, sunken galleons, and a fortune in lost pirate treasure waiting to be found by a group of friends known as the Goonies. With brothers Mikey (Sean Astin) and Brand's (Josh Brolin) house slated for demolition by greedy land developers, the boys decide their only hope lies in finding a long-lost treasure. From the moment Mikey discovers a crumbling treasure map in his parents’ attic, he and his friends have no choice but to go on (perhaps) their final adventure together to discover the famed pirate One-Eyed Willy’s hidden fortune. It’s the only way to save the “Goon Docks” and their Goonies way of life. [114 min; action/adventure, comedy; English and Spanish with English subtitles]
