In the film, a group of children who live in the "Goon Docks" neighborhood of [[Astoria, Oregon]], attempt to save their homes from [[foreclosure]] and in doing so they discover an old [[treasure map]] that takes them on an adventure to unearth the long-lost fortune of One-Eyed Willy, a legendary 17th-century [[Piracy|pirate]], while being pursued by a family of criminals who are after the treasure as well. The film was produced by Spielberg's [[Amblin Entertainment]] and released by [[Warner Bros.]] theatrically on June 7, 1985, in the United States. The film grossed $125 million worldwide on a budget of $19 million. Critics reviewed the film positively and it has since become a [[cult film]].<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.today.com/popculture/5-lessons-are-good-enough-learn-goonies-t24421 |title='Goonies' Turns 30: 5 Lessons From the Cult Classic |work=Today |date=June 5, 2015 |first=Chris |last=Sercio |access-date=July 12, 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.trinitytripod.com/news/view.php/597784/The-Goonies-Cult-Classic-that-Still-Warm |title=The Goonies: Cult Classic that Still Warms Embittered Hearts |newspaper=The Trinity Tripod |date=December 5, 2006 |first=Chris |last=Clark |access-date=July 12, 2015}}{{Dead link|date=November 2023 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes}}</ref> In 2017, the film was selected for preservation in the United States [[National Film Registry]] by the [[Library of Congress]] as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.loc.gov/item/prn-17-178/|title=2017 National Film Registry Is More Than a 'Field of Dreams'|website=[[Library of Congress]]|access-date=December 13, 2017}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Complete National Film Registry Listing |url=https://www.loc.gov/programs/national-film-preservation-board/film-registry/complete-national-film-registry-listing/|access-date=2020-10-08|website=Library of Congress}}</ref> On February 14, 2025, a sequel was confirmed to be in the works with Potsy Ponciroli writing the script along with Steven Spielberg producing.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://deadline.com/2025/02/goonies-2-potsy-ponciroli-warner-bros-1236289430/|title=Potsy Ponciroli Tapped To Pen 'The Goonies' Sequel For Warner Bros|website=Deadline|last=Grobar|first=Matt|date=February 14, 2025|access-date=February 14, 2025}}</ref> ==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. ==Cast== <!-- Names are in credits order and named as credited; please do not change. --> * [[Sean Astin]] as Michael "Mikey" Walsh, the [[asthma]]tic leader of the Goonies * [[Josh Brolin]] as Brandon "Brand" Walsh, a high-school athlete and Mikey's older brother * [[Jeff Cohen (actor)|Jeff Cohen]] as Lawrence "Chunk" Cohen, a clumsy and gluttonous member of the Goonies and habitual fabulist * [[Corey Feldman]] as Clark "Mouth" Devereaux, a member of the Goonies nicknamed for his cheeky tongue and Mikey's best friend * [[Ke Huy Quan]] as Richard "Data" Wang, a member of the Goonies who is a [[James Bond]] fanatic and amateur [[gadget]]eer and Mikey's next door neighbor * [[Kerri Green]] as Andrea Theresa "Andy" Carmichael, a high-school cheerleader and Brand's love interest * [[Martha Plimpton]] as Stephanie "Stef" Steinbrenner, a snarky tomboy and Andy's best friend * [[John Matuszak]] as Lotney "Sloth" Fratelli, the deformed and much-abused, but child-hearted son of Mama Fratelli whom Chunk befriends * [[Robert Davi]] as Jake Fratelli, Mama Fratelli's [[Counterfeit money|counterfeiter]] son * [[Joe Pantoliano]] as Francis Fratelli, Mama Fratelli's favorite son * [[Anne Ramsey]] as Mama Fratelli, the Fratellis' matriarch * [[Mary Ellen Trainor]] as Irene Walsh, Mikey and Brand's mother * [[Keith Walker (writer)|Keith Walker]] as Irving Walsh, Mikey and Brand's father and an assistant curator at the local history museum * [[Lupe Ontiveros]] as Rosalita, the Walsh family's housekeeper who can only speak Spanish * Curt Hanson as Elgin Perkins, Troy's millionaire father and proprietor of Astoria Country Club who is behind the foreclosures at the "Goon Docks" * [[Steve Antin]] as Troy Perkins, the spoiled son of Elgin Perkins who is Brand's rival for Andy's attention * Paul Tuerpe as the Sheriff * [[George Robotham]] as a prison guard who gets fooled by Jake's [[Faked death|feigned suicide]] * [[Michael Paul Chan]] as Data's approving father Director Richard Donner makes an uncredited [[cameo appearance]] as a sheriff's deputy.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://mashable.com/2015/06/07/goonies-30th-anniversary/#nq43l7cYqiqw|title=18 facts about 'The Goonies' in honor of the film's 30th anniversary|author=Sonaiya Kelley|date=7 June 2015|website=[[Mashable]]|access-date=9 February 2017}}</ref> The film's cinematographer [[Nick McLean]] also has a cameo as Mouth's father.

During the film's [[Dramatic structure#Dénouement|''dénouement'']], mention is made of an [[octopus]], which refers to a scene that was excised from the final cut. In the [[Documentary film|documentary]] ''The Making of The Goonies'', Richard Donner noted both the difficulties and pleasures of working with so many child actors. He praised them for their energy and excitement, but said that they were also unruly when brought together. As a result, the documentary frequently showed him coaching the actors and revealing some techniques he used to create realistic performances. One of these tricks involved One-Eyed Willy's pirate ship, which was actually a full-sized replica of a pirate ship created under the direction of [[production designer]] [[J. Michael Riva]]. Donner restricted the actors from seeing the ship until they filmed the scene wherein it is revealed to their characters; the characters' first glimpse of the ship was also the actors' first view of it, bringing about a more realistic performance. However, that particular scene in the final cut was actually the second take, due to the cast feeling so overwhelmed at first sight that the scene had to be reshot. The entire set was scrapped after shooting because they could not find anyone who wanted it.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.tor.com/blogs/2012/08/10-things-you-might-not-know-about-the-goonies |title=10 Things You Might Not Know About The Goonies |date=20 August 2012 |publisher=Tor.com |access-date=November 5, 2013}}</ref> In his book ''There and Back Again'', [[Sean Astin]] claimed that Donner and Spielberg were "like co-directors" on the film as he compared and contrasted their styles when directing scenes.<ref name="Astin 135">{{cite book |title=There and Back Again: An Actor's Tale |author1=Sean Astin |author2=Joe Layden |publisher=Macmillan |year=2005 |isbn=978-0-312-33147-4 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=p_YvkXQ-djQC&pg=PA135 |page=135}}</ref> Some of the on-location filming was done in Astoria.

The screens were largely inspired by actual sets and puzzles seen in the film. A reference to the aforementioned "octopus scene" is included, as the seventh level. In 1986, Japanese game developer [[Konami]] created two versions of ''The Goonies'' for the [[MSX]] (''[[The Goonies (MSX video game)|The Goonies]]'') in Japan and Europe, and [[Nintendo Entertainment System|Family Computer]] (''[[The Goonies (Famicom video game)|The Goonies]]'') in Japan. ''[[The Goonies II]]'' was also released on the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|Famicom]] (and its international counterpart, the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]]). ''The Goonies II'' was released in North America, Europe, and Australia, although the original was one of the NES games released as part of the [[Nintendo VS. System]] arcade machine in the 1980s. ''The Goonies II'' has little to do with the film. In it, the Fratellis have kidnapped all the Goonies (except Mikey, whom the player guides) and have hidden them in cages across a terrain of caverns, mazes, and abandoned buildings. As Mikey, the player must rescue them all and ultimately free a mermaid named Annie. Mikey was also a playable character in Konami's 1988 Famicom title ''[[Wai Wai World]]'', which included a Goonies-themed level. In February 2007, [[DaimlerChrysler|Chrysler]]'s [[Jeep]] division sponsored ''The Goonies: Return to Astoria'', a [[Adobe Flash|Flash]]-based [[online game]] developed by [[Fuel Industries]]. The player's goal is to collect map pieces and doubloons, and then race the Fratellis to One-Eyed Willy's treasure.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.returntoastoria.com |title=ReturnToAstoria.com |publisher=ReturnToAstoria.com |access-date=2009-07-13 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081219183349/http://www.returntoastoria.com/ |archive-date=December 19, 2008}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.fuelindustries.com/casestudies/returntoastoria |title=Jeep presents ''The Goonies: Return To Astoria'' |publisher=Fuel Industries |access-date=2010-10-30 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101110164130/http://www.fuelindustries.com/casestudies/returntoastoria |archive-date=2010-11-10 |url-status=dead}}</ref> A ''Goonies'' level pack for ''[[Lego Dimensions]]'' was released on May 9, 2017.
