30 years since Explorers came out

its been 30 years since Explorers come out. the Sci-Fi family film from Joe Dante, the man who did Gremlins follows three 13-year old boys, Ben Crandall, Wolfgang Muller and Darren Woods built a homemade spaceship after Ben's dream of a circuit board and a discovery of a electronic bubbled-shield and go out on a intergalatic journey through outer space to communicate with aliens who talk TV. the film marked the debut of Ethan Hawke and the late River Phoenix. unfortunatley, the film had low Box-office thanks to the record-breaking time-travel movie, Back to the Future. other Family-friendly movies in 1985 like The Goonies and D.A.R.Y.L., Explorers gained cult status through home video and on Television.
