The supporting cast includes John Matuszak, Anne Ramsey, Robert Davi, Joe Pantoliano and Mary Ellen Trainor.
The plot revolves around a group of children from the 'Goon Docks' neighbourhood of Astoria, Oregon, who stumble upon an ancient treasure map while trying to save their homes from foreclosure. This leads them on a thrilling quest to find the hidden fortune of One-Eyed Willy, a 17th-century pirate. However, their adventure is complicated by a family of criminals also seeking the treasure. Upon its release, The Goonies was a box office success, raking in $125 million against a $19 million budget.

Another shared their thoughts saying: 'Goonies is an entertaining film and has a cult following of teens from the '80s, who remember the film well.
