The Goonies is what can only be described as Indiana Jones for kids. It's a quest for a larger than life legend that develops into a non-stop thrill ride. The quest for One Eyed Willie is right up there with the Ark and those rocks in the Indian village. Directed by the legendary Richard Donner the film is about a group of misfit kids who are about to see their lives bulldozed for a new golf course. As one event leads into another they end up in the caves on the Pacific Coast heading for an old pirate treasure while being chased by a viscous family of criminals.The Goonies is just your basic tale of chasing after treasure, but it's brought together with a good script, some fine young actors, and the great Richard Donner who can direct anything. It's one of those movies that sticks in a whole generations mind.
