Joining forces, the friends build their own spaceship, which they name Thunder Road. Much to their delight, the thing really flies. Determined to travel through the galaxy, the boys become space Explorers, but what they discover is a world a lot like the one they watch on TV at home. Includes two additional scenes. This is the 106-minute version modified for television broadcast and home video distribution. (Tricia Littrell)
