Soon enough, these three start having the same dream where they figure out that some life force from outer space is calling them to come to visit, which leads them to discover life outside of Earth.Įxplorers feels a little like E.T.in parts, but has something different to say, but that Amblin form of entertainment is smack dab in the center of the story where kids are the focal point of some fairly adult situations.

Wolfgang is a nerdy stereotype who would rather skip school to work on his experiments at home where Ben is obsessed with science fiction and outer space comics and television. Joe Dante's Explorers brings Ethan Hawke and River Phoenix to the big screen for their first time as best friends Ben and Wolfgang respectively. Its light-hearted feel mixed with some real-life drama and thrills makes this nostalgic movie still stand the test of time with its Spielberg elements. Director Joe Dante ( Gremlins) took this childhood notion and brought it to the next level in his film Explorers that followed three school friends who build a spaceship and actually fly it to outer space and meet intelligent life.

They build makeshift spaceships out of cardboard boxes, turn out the lights, and presented to be in the vast expanse of space. Most kids dream or talk about going into space and seeking out other life and befriending aliens at some point in their young lives.
