Editing Guidelines Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article: If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film) For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films) When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references. Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film. Article upgrading needed: You can help! WP:IA   Stub to Start-Class Upgrading Instructions for Films Note that instructions for articles on other types of film topics within the scope of WikiProject Films are currently under development. To contribute in upgrading this stub article to Start class, the following requirements must be met: Significant intro (list the title, alternate titles, year released, director, actors starring in the film, summary of headings, etc.) Film infobox ({{infobox film}}) Picture: Consult WikiProject Free Images for freely released images from a film shoot, opening, or other relevant free image. Non-free and unlicensed images are to be avoided if at all possible, but if used should include a detailed fair use rationale. (An image is not required for start class if unavailable.) Plot summary Include cast and crew information. At least two other developed sections of information (production, reception (including box office figures), awards and honors, themes, differences from novel or TV show, soundtrack, sequels, DVD release, etc.) Categories (by year, country, language, and genre(s))  Helpful links: WP:BETTER, WP:LEAD, WP:REF, WP:WAF Once this article has fulfilled these requirements, the film can be reassessed to Start class and this template will be removed automatically.

[edit] Inconsistency

This movie couldn't have blended elements from The Goonies, since the two movies were released within a week of each other. PHRiSCo 17:47, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

I believe there is also an error in the plot summary; I haven't seen this movie in some time, yet I'm fairly certain that the breathing apparatus that is described here as being connected to the oxygen-generator was actually from the prior test flight; they had the masks connected to an oxygen tank because the sphere was airtight. I clearly recall the helicopter pilot (whom they did not encounter the second time out) catching a glimpse of Wolfgang's masked face and mistaking him for an alien. The masks were no longer needed once they got the circuit board completed and it started making its own oxygen. Can anyone with a copy of the film confirm this? Cory 19:47, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Confirmed. I saw Explorers on Film4 last night and it played out exactly as you've described. Analog Kid (talk) 14:09, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Contact did not come out until 1997. I do not see how it could have blended elements from a different movie that came out 12 years after it did. (for that matter, when in '85 did the goonies come out?) guerilla_gorilla^(pour) 3:15, 17 April 2006
