"The film stars Ethan Hawke and River Phoenix (in their film debuts) as teenage schoolboys who build a spacecraft to explore outer space"
A good movie that could have been great if it wasn't rushed. Yet the film still has its value as an entertaining movie. The director did a good job as did the casting director. Its quite brave to make a movie with children as the main stars but they managed to pull it off. Ethan Hawke was quite an actor at this age much better than most of the kids in the goonies movie. Sadly the other two kids didn't really do a whole lot of acting after this film, one died at 23 years old and the other retired. It should have been a bit longer with the aliens shown more but they still do a good job. This is a great movie to watch with children or if you simply like these kind of movies.
3/5
Little info
This was Ethan Hawkes and River Phoenix's first movie
This film suffered in the box office because it was released very close to Live Aid and only made 10 million before it was gone from the theaters.
