Explorers

“The adventure begins in your own back yard.”

Ben Crandall (Ethan Hawke) spends his free time on sci-fi movies, video games and comic books, and wants more than anything to see the things he reads about. One night he has a vivid dream about technology, and his friend Wolfgang Müller (River Phoenix), a prodigy, turns it into a working spacecraft. Joe Dante sends Ben, Wolfgang and Darren (Jason Presson) into space with effects from Industrial Light & Magic and some very odd extraterrestrial life.
