With THE GOONIES (1985), director Richard Donner tapped into a universal childhood desire to matter, to belong, to make a difference…and to follow a map to lost pirate treasure. From an original story by AFI Life Achievement Award recipient Steven Spielberg – who also executive produced and presented the movie – THE GOONIES was executive produced by AFI Board of Trustees Chair Kathleen Kennedy.
