The Goonies 2

More than 35 years after the original The Goonies became a beloved classic, The Goonies 2: The Lost Treasure imagines a long-awaited sequel that honors the spirit of friendship, adventure, and mystery. Directed by Richard Donner with Steven Spielberg as executive producer, the sequel brings together a mix of returning faces and new characters for a fresh treasure hunt.

The story picks up in the present day with Mikey Walsh (Sean Astin) now a history professor, raising a curious teenage daughter named Emma. When Emma stumbles upon a hidden map in her father’s attic—one that references an even bigger treasure connected to the original Fratelli adventure—she gathers a new group of friends and convinces Mikey to join the quest.

The crew embarks on a journey that takes them beyond the caves of Astoria to mysterious islands, underwater ruins, and forgotten pirate hideouts. Along the way, they face new dangers, clever puzzles, and a shadowy treasure hunter determined to claim the prize first.

Meanwhile, the original Goonies—Mikey, Mouth, Data, and Chunk—play supporting roles, sharing wisdom and helping the new team unlock secrets that were once thought lost.

The Goonies 2 balances nostalgia with fresh energy, blending the adventurous spirit of the 1985 classic with modern visual effects and diverse characters. The film keeps the humor, camaraderie, and heart that made the original so special, while expanding the world and raising the stakes.

The new kids bring their own quirks and skills, reflecting today’s audiences and technology, while the original Goonies’ legacy anchors the story with warmth and continuity.

The Goonies 2: The Lost Treasure would be a thrilling, family-friendly adventure that both longtime fans and newcomers can enjoy. It celebrates friendship across generations, the thrill of discovery, and the enduring magic of a good treasure hunt. For fans eager to return to Astoria, it’s a joyous reminder that the adventure never really ends.
