Mikey Walsh (Sean Astin) and Brandon Walsh (Josh Brolin) are faced with moving from their hometown because of cruel housing developers, until Mikey finds a treasure map in their father's attic. The friends then assemble a ragtag team: Mikey, Brandon, “Mouth” (Corey Feldman), Data (Jonathan Ke Quan), “Chunk” (Jeff Cohen), Andy (Kerri Green) and “Stef” (Martha Plimpton), who all make their way through caves near the Oregon Pacific coast, thwarting the criminal Fratelli mob family and seeking “one-eyed Willie's” buried treasure. -
