“Some treasures can’t be measured in gold—they’re buried in friendship and courage.”
GOONIES 2 (2025) storms back onto the big screen, rekindling the spirit of treasure maps, secret tunnels, and the enduring power of childhood friendships. Directed by Chris Columbus, who penned the original’s screenplay, the sequel is both a nostalgic love letter and a bold new adventure that bridges generations.
Set nearly four decades after the events of the first film, GOONIES 2 finds the original Goonies—now adults—returning to Astoria for a reunion. Mikey (Sean Astin), now a historian, uncovers a new piece of the fabled One-Eyed Willy legend: a hidden map pointing to an even bigger treasure, buried deep beneath the Oregon coast. Determined to protect Astoria from developers and greedy corporations, the Goonies rally their own children to embark on the ultimate quest.
The film bursts with classic Goonies energy: underground rivers, booby-trapped caves, and riddles only true adventurers can solve. Columbus ensures the tone stays fun and thrilling, with slapstick humor, close calls, and heartfelt moments that pay homage to Richard Donner’s beloved original.
At its heart, GOONIES 2 is about family and legacy. The kids step into their parents’ shoes, forging their own bonds of friendship and courage. The returning cast—including Josh Brolin as Brand and Corey Feldman as Mouth—brings warmth and humor, seamlessly passing the torch to the next generation of Goonies.
By its exhilarating finale, GOONIES 2 (2025) proves that the magic of hidden treasure and loyal friends never fades with time. It’s a joyful reminder that while we all grow older, the adventure—and the Goonies spirit—never truly dies.
