What we got was a movie that’s both classic and catastrophe, mixing innocent dreams with eerily sexual spacemen. “Gremlins” director Joe Dante was forced to rush an unfinished film to theaters, dooming an otherwise promising project that starred future superstars Ethan Hawke and River Phoenix. What this 1985 sci-fi adventure lacked was enough time to fully develop. “The Explorers” had everything an ’80s kid could want in a movie: three buddies building a spaceship from a Tilt-A-Whirl, magical computers, teenage aliens, and cool special effects from Industrial Light and Magic.
