### About the Movie

Directed by Rob Reiner and based on a novella by Stephen King, Stand By Me is a coming-of-age classic that follows four friends — Gordie, Chris, Teddy, and Vern — on a summer adventure to find a missing boy.
Set in the 1950s, it’s funny, heartfelt, and deeply nostalgic — a story about friendship, growing up, and the moment you realize childhood doesn’t last forever.
⏱ Runtime: 89 minutes

### Why the 40th Anniversary Is So Special

Forty years later, Stand By Me still resonates because it captures something universal: the intensity of childhood friendships and the bittersweet transition into adulthood.
Seeing it on the big screen again gives the story the space it deserves — the Oregon landscapes, the unforgettable performances from a young cast, and the emotional depth that sneaks up on you when you least expect it.

Anniversary screenings aren’t just about nostalgia — they’re about sharing a timeless story with a room full of people who laugh, tear up, and remember their own childhood adventures at the same time. There’s something powerful about experiencing that together.
If you’ve loved this movie for decades, or if you’ve somehow never seen it, this is the perfect way to experience it.
Come walk the tracks with us. 🚂
