The problem with this film is the ending. We have the obligatory pubescent female love interest provided by Amanda Peterson, who only 12 at the time was to later play the part of Cindy in "Can't Buy Me Love". He plays an interesting character who seemingly just wants to share in the wonder of their experience.perfect for an early teen fairytale. This seems all well and good until someone gets trapped inside it momentarily and that gives them the idea to make a 'spaceship' that they can surround with the field and go off travelling.ĭirected by Joe Dante and as in every Dante film, Dick Miller makes an appearance, this time as a cop who spots the kids in their home made spacecraft from a police helicopter and tracks them down. The kids are sent plans in their dreams of an electronic circuit that makes a spherical force field (built by Phoenix's geek character). The characters are fleshed out nicely and sensitively portrayed by the young cast. Up until that point we follow them in an unusually nicely made young teen film. although we don't realise that until near the end. Starring the late River Phoenix in an almost unrecognisable 'geek' role and a young Ethan Hawke, Explorers is the tale of kids that are invited by an alien species to come and visit them.
