Explorers - Ein phantastisches Abenteuer (1985)
Science FictionAbenteuerFamilie
„Explorers“ ist ein Meisterwerk optischer Effekte, gekonnt inszeniert von Joe Dante, dessen „Gremlins“ Weltruhm erlangten. Diese Verfilmung führt direkt in das Reich der Phantasie und Fabelwesen, deren Lebendigkeit fasziniert. Drei kleine Jungen planen die Reise ins Universum, dem Ziel ihrer Träume. Mit Hilfe eines Computers konstruieren sie einen magischen blauen Kreis, in dem sie ins Weltall reisen wollen. Doch die ersten Versuche enden recht waghalsig und so bauen sich die drei in fieberhafter Arbeit ein blitzendes und blinkendes Raumschiff. Der erste Testflug wird zur Bruchlandung und die örtliche Polizei beginnt, nach dem geheimnisvollen UFO zu suchen. Da bleibt den Abenteurern nichts anderes übrig, als sich endgültig auf die phantastische Reise ins All zu begeben, die keine Wünsche offen lässt …
