Actor Kiefer Sutherland has shared the story behind the hit film Stand by Me getting its name.Released in 1986 by director Rob Reiner, Stand by Me is inspired by a Stephen King story called The Body. The title comes from the Ben E. King song of the same name, which is used in the feature film, but has no connection to the original novella written by Stephen King. In a recent appearance on The Tonight Show, Sutherland — who played the gang leader Ace in the film — recalled how a guitar lesson with co-star River Phoenix seemingly led to the movie getting its title.Directed by Reiner, Stand by Me was written by Bruce A. Evans and Raynold Gideon. It is set in a small town in Oregon in the late 1950s, telling the story of a group of youths who set out to find the body of a missing child. Phoenix played one of the boys in the group, co-starring with Wil Wheaton, Corey Feldman, and Jerry O’Connell. The film was nominated for an Oscar for its screenplay and it widely considered to be among the best movies ever made.
