The Goonies

Facing foreclosure of their homes in the "Goon Docks" area of Astoria, Oregon to an expanding country club , a group of boys who call themselves "the Goonies"—Michael "Mikey" Walsh, Richard "Data" Wang, Clark "Mouth" Devereaux, and Lawrence "Chunk" Cohen—gather for a final weekend together. While rummaging through the Walshes' 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. Seeing the treasure as their last chance to save their homes, the boys overpower and bind Mikey's older brother, Brandon "Brand", 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 high school 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, but it turns out to be the Fratellis, who kidnap and imprison him. They interrogate him until he reveals where the Goonies have gone and begin pursuit.

Chunk is left behind alongside their hulking and deformed younger brother “Sloth”, whom he befriends. After Sloth frees them both, Chunk calls the sheriff, who thinks it is another one of his tall tales . Chunk and Sloth follow the trail of the Fratellis. The Goonies evade several deadly booby traps along the tunnels and obtain candles from the skeletal remains of a previous treasure hunter Chester Copperpot, while barely staying ahead of the Fratellis.

They finally reach the grotto where Willy's pirate ship, the Inferno , is anchored. The group finds 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. They then start to bind the Goonies' hands and make them 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 share a kiss. The Fratellis proceed to grab all the treasure they can, including those on Willy's scales, which triggers one last booby trap, forcing them to drop the treasure. The Goonies attempt to use a last "candle" only to find it is a stick of dynamite, 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 Mr. Walsh 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 and tells Mr.

Walsh not to sign. He 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 into the distance.
