The film's name comes from the song "Stand By Me" by Ben E.
King from 1961. The song was also the theme song. This film was
modeled from a novella by Stephen King called "The Body" and was
the first filmed story from the author. The film tells the story
of a group of 10-year-old friends out on their own and the
trials and tribulation they are confronted with along the
journey.
