The main characters in the film Stand By Me are Gordie LaChance (Wil Wheaton), and his three friends Chris Chambers (River Phoenix), Teddy Duchamp (Corey Feldman), and Vern Tessio (Jerry O'Connell), all 12 years old.
Each has a physical and emotional burden. Chris is from a family of criminals and alcoholics and, despite his intelligence, he breaks rules doesn’t listen to anyone only because he has no real family figure to look upon. Teddy is an odd and physically deformed after his mentally-unstable father held his ear to a stove and nearly burned it off, forcing him to wear a hearing aid. Vern, is overweight timid and is easily scared, and is often picked on because of the way he act around people. Gordie is a quiet boy with a talent for telling stories and writing, he was rejected by his father following the death of his football star older brother in an automobile accident. The story is narrated by the adult Gordie (Richard Dreyfuss), who is writing the memories he had faced with him and his friends.
