The Goonies 25th Anniversary Collector’s

Directed by Richard Donner (Superman, Lethal Weapon series,

of the most influential personalities in the history of film,
Steven Spielberg (E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Schindler's List,
Saving Private Ryan). Recipient of the American Film Institute
Life Achievement Award, Spielberg won the Academy Award® for Best
Director for Schindler's List (1993) and Saving
Private Ryan (1998), as well as the Academy’s coveted Irving
G. Thalberg Memorial Award (1986). Three of Spielberg's films
(Jaws, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial and
Jurassic Park) have broken box office records, each
becoming the highest-grossing film made at the time, and
The Goonies consistently performs year
after year, with DVD unit sales totaling 5.5 million life-to date
(source: Nielsen 4/30/10).
The Goonies
stars Sean Astin (The Lord of the Rings trilogy),
Josh Brolin (Milk, W, No Country for Old
Men, upcoming Jonah Hex), Corey Feldman (The Lost
Boys franchise), Martha Plimpton (200 Cigarettes), Ke
Huy-Quan (Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom) and Joe
Pantoliano (Cats and Dogs franchise, The
Matrix).

SYNOPSIS
From the imagination of Steven Spielberg,
The
Goonies plunges a band of small heroes into a
swashbuckling surprise-around-every corner quest beyond their
wildest dreams! Following a mysterious treasure map into a
spectacular underground realm of twisting passages, outrageous
booby-traps and a long-lost pirate ship full of golden doubloons,
the kids race to stay one step ahead of a family of bumbling bad
guys…and a mild mannered monster with a face only a mother could
love.
