Explorers is a science fiction film made and produced in 1985, directed by Joe Dante and starring the young Ethan Hawke and River Phoenix, both in their film debuts, and Jason Presson as young teenage boys who build a spacecraft to explore outer space!

This song titled "Less than Perfect" performed by Red 7 was originally on the movie's soundtrack...but unfortunately it was left on the cutting room floor!

And it's a great song that I wish had been in the movie!
