Middle schooler Ben spends his free time watching sci-fi films, playing video games and reading comic books. Surprisingly, his affinity for all things fantastical yields a real result – when he has a vivid dream about technology, his prodigy best friend Wolfgang manages to create a working spacecraft. Joined by their buddy Darren, the boys take off into outer space and encounter some very odd extraterrestrial life.
Editor's Verdict
"The movie 'Explorers' is a 1985 science fiction/adventure film about boys building a spaceship based on a dream. There are no indicators suggesting the setting, plot, themes, iconography, or resolution are related to the Christmas season in any meaningful way."
