About this movie

The combined talents of two of today's most prominent filmmakers - Academy Award, Emmy and Golden Globe-winner Steven Spielberg ("Munich," "War of the Worlds") and Richard Donner ("16 Blocks," "Lethal Weapon") -- created this box office hit that delights the young and the young at heart. When a group of ordinary kids discover a secret treasure map, their sleepy seaport lives are suddenly transformed into a fun-filled, roller-coaster ride filled with heart-pounding adventure and peril. Starring Academy Award-nominee Sean Astin ("The Lord of the Rings" trilogy, "50 First Dates"), Emmy-winner Joe Pantoliano (TV's "The Soprano's," "The Matrix"), Academy Award-nominee Anne Ramsey ("Throw Mamma From the Train," "Scrooged"), Emmy-nominee Martha Plimpton ("Running on Empty," "Parenthood"), Corey Feldman ("The Lost Boys," "Stand By Me"), Kerri Green ("Lucas," "Summer Rental"), Josh Brolin ("Into the Blue," "Hollow Man") and Robert Davi ("Hot Chick," "Die Hard").

One of the best pieces of cinema for 12-14 year old kids ever. Anyone judging through any other lens should be ashamed of themselves for not letting kids be kids. This movie served me well in my youth, and all of my kids have loved it too. To answer someone earlier asking about the Octopus Scene: It was only ever "in" the movie during a TV edit one time. However, it is in deleted scenes on the DVD and on the iTunes version(s).

A classic of my youth that remains a massive amount of fun to relive. Terribly cheesy and yet wonderfully touching, it's the kind of movie that "has it all." (Yes, including tweens dropping cuss words with abandon, kids getting shot at and other endless endangerments, and plenty of scary images; remember this picture was made before the advent of PG-13 so viewer beware that your little ones can handle it.)

Old-fashioned yarn about a band of adventurous kids who take on the might of a property developing company which plans to destroy their home to build a country club. When the children discover an old pirate map in the attic, they follow it into an underground cavern in search of lost treasure but come up against plenty of dangerous obstacles along the way.
