Plot
Released in 1985, 'Explorers' shows the adventures of Ben Candrall, a boy who is obsessed with 50s sci-fi movies and aliens. One day Ben dreamed that he flies in the space, so he convinces his best friend Wolfgang Müller, a very intelligent boy, to design a spaceship. Through their experiments, the kids discover that, directed by a computer, the circuit board can move itself for any place. Together with their new friend Darren, they create the Thunder Road, a spaceship created with garbage with which they travel across the galaxy. This movie meant the cinematic debut of River Phoenix. In spite of being a flop at the box office, 'Explorers' turned into a cult movie that attracted a big number of followers.

Trivia
The sound effects from the movie at the drive-in were taken directly from the original 1982 Atari 2600 video game Yars' Revenge (1981).
The film was never finished and was released as a work in progress when the studio decided to change the release date and release the film as it was.
Inside Wolfgang's basement, the toy monkey from the movie 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind', can be seen.
