==Plot== <!-- As WP:FILMPLOT requires, the plot summary should be between 400 and 700 words. --> Facing foreclosure of their homes in the "Goon Docks" area of [[Astoria, Oregon]] to an expanding [[country club]], a group of children who call themselves "the Goonies"—Mike "Mikey" Walsh, Richard "Data" Wang, Clark "Mouth" Devereaux, and Lawrence "Chunk" Cohen—gather for a final weekend together. Rummaging through Mikey's attic, they come across a 1632 [[doubloon]] and an old treasure map purporting to lead to the treasure of legendary pirate "One-Eyed Willy", believed to be located somewhere nearby and considered by Mikey to be the original Goonie. Seeing the treasure as their last chance to save their homes, the kids overpower and bind Mikey's older brother, Brandon "Brand" Walsh, to get past him and make their way to an abandoned restaurant on the coast that coincides with the map. Brand soon follows alongside Andrea "Andy" Carmichael, a [[cheerleader]] with a crush on him, and her [[tomboy]] best friend Stephanie "Stef" Steinbrenner. The group soon discovers that the derelict restaurant is a hideout of the Fratelli [[crime family]]: Francis, Jake, and their mother. The Goonies find a tunnel in the basement and follow it, but Chunk leaves to alert the police after being mistakenly locked in a freezer. Chunk flags down a nearby car to go to the sheriff's station and it turns out to be the Fratellis, who imprison him alongside their hulking and deformed younger brother Sloth. The Fratellis interrogate Chunk until he reveals where the Goonies have gone and begin pursuit. Chunk is left behind with Sloth, whom he befriends. After Sloth frees them both, Chunk calls the sheriff, who thinks it is another one of his [[tall tale]]s. Chunk and Sloth follow the trail of the Fratellis. The Goonies evade several deadly [[booby traps]] along the tunnels, while barely staying ahead of the Fratellis. They finally reach the grotto where Willy's pirate ship, the ''Inferno'', is anchored. The group uncover the ship filled with treasure, and they start filling their pockets, but Mikey warns them not to take any on a set of scales in front of Willy's skeleton, considering that to be their tribute to him. As the Goonies are plotting their escape, the Fratellis appear and strip them of their haul. The Fratellis start to bind the Goonies' hands and make them [[Walking the plank|walk the plank]] until Chunk and Sloth arrive and distract the Fratellis long enough for the Goonies to jump overboard and swim to safety. Brand saves Andy from drowning and they kiss. The Fratellis proceed to grab all the treasure they can, including those on Willy's scales, which triggers one last booby trap, causing the grotto to cave in. With Sloth's help, the Goonies and Fratellis barely escape. The groups emerge on Astoria's beach, where the Goonies reunite with their families and the Fratellis are arrested by the police. The Goonies prevent Sloth's arrest, and Chunk invites Sloth to live with him, which he accepts. Just as Mikey's father is about to sign the foreclosure papers, the Walshes' housekeeper, Rosalita, discovers that Mikey's marble bag is filled with some of the ship's jewels that had not been seized by the Fratellis. Mikey's father triumphantly rips up the papers, declaring that they have enough money to negate the foreclosure. As the Goonies are recounting their adventure to the dumbfounded police and press, everyone's attention is drawn to the ''Inferno'', having broken free of the grotto, sailing off majestically on its own in the distance.
