Stand By Me

Running time: 89 mins

Based on Stephen King’s novella The Body, Stand By Me is brought to the screen by director Rob Reiner, whose sensitive, character-driven approach beautifully captures the heart of King’s coming-of-age tale. The film follows four boys on a life-changing journey to find a missing teenager, confronting danger, deepening friendships, and the bittersweet shift into adulthood. Reiner’s thoughtful direction highlights a more intimate side of King’s storytelling, making this a vital and moving entry in our Stephen King Season.
