It's been 40 years since audiences were introduced to Gordie (Wil Wheaton), Vern (Jerry O'Connell), Teddy (Corey Feldman), and Chris (River Phoenix), a group of friends who embark on a journey to see the dead body of a missing kid. Despite its macabre-sounding premise, Stand By Me is beloved by both young and old, and is recognized as a coming-of-age film that others are compared to.

O'Connell was quick to agree with Wheaton's "kindest" assessment, noting that he felt "safe" around Phoenix. "He was so welcoming of everyone and just the kindest kid I ever met," he said. "And it's funny, I have teenagers now, so I can see how mean teenagers can be. River wasn't that at all. He was just a kind soul."
"River was the serious one," he explained. "River was the one who brought us all together, and that was his character. But there was that reality of each of us within our characters, which is what makes this an inseparable bond."
"Now, when we take this on the road, I feel like we have a duty to remind everybody who River was; who Rob was," O'Connell said. "What they meant, how much they helped us, how much they changed us."
