SYNOPSIS: The visionary dreams of three curious and adventuresome young boys become an exciting reality in Explorers, the action fantasy from acclaimed director Joe Dante, who combines keen humor, warmth and fantasy with unexpected twists.

In their makeshift laboratory, the boys use an amazing discovery and their ingenuity to build their own spaceship and launch themselves on a fantastic interplanetary journey.

EDITORIAL REVIEW:  This blast from the past isn't really 'new', nor is it 'foreign' (to our North American customers, anyway), but it makes a great addition to our library of coming of age films.  Explorers stars a few 'unknown' actors that maybe just a few of you have heard of.  A young River Phoenix and Ethan Hawke appear in their very first movie, and do a pretty good job.  It's a little cheesy in spots, but still enjoyable.

You may remember director Joe Dante from Gremlins, Twilight Zone: The Movie and Small Soldiers.
