What happens in Stand By Me?

Question

plus, how did the guy die? (the one that they were looking for)?

Answer 1

4 boys go out on an adventure.  Learn stuff about life.

It's hard to explain.  Funny, Sad.  The Leeches and Pie Eating Contest scenes are my favorites.

I don't believe they explain how the body died.

Answer 2

...I don't remember if it was clear or not but I think it was implied that the guy was hit and killed by the train...the story is basically a group of friends who are young and innocent but beginning to face the realizations of life and death and mortality...

Answer 3

It's been a while since i've seen the movie but didn't one of the guy's older brother and his crew kill him or something like that idk i kinda forgot.

Answer 4

well 4 boys go looking for some dead body, and have some adventures, tell some stories, stuff like that. i believe they say the guy gets killed cuz he goes 2 pikking berries or something like that and gets hit by the train. i think thats the reason havent seen that movie in a long time. =]]

Answer 5

Yeah 'Yahoo Answers', not 'Yahoo Movie Synopsis' For Dumbasses'

Answer 6

just watch the movie

Answer 7

Do you have a video store near by?  Because I'd much rather you go rent this and enjoy the experience as apposed to getting some lame feedback interpretation from Yahoo Answers.  This is kind of sad.
