At the age of just 14, River Phoenix celebrated his breakthrough in Steven King's film "Stand by me": the movie became a box office hit and River, as Chris Chambers, became a teen heartthrob.
After that, offer after offer followed for the exceptional talent: whether as a young Indiana Jones in one of the most successful films of his time, as son Danny in Sidney Lumet's film Running on Empty or as a homosexual hustler in Gus van Sant's "My own private Idaho": River Pheonix played his way into the hearts of the audience and became the idol of an entire generation.
What exactly happened on the night of October 30, 1993 is still unclear today.
River Phoenix was supposed to play with his band in Johnny Depp's club on Sunset Boulevard.
River Phoenix died on the street that Halloween night from an overdose of cocaine and heroin, a speedball.
Family and friends talk about one of the most talented actors of his generation.
Everyone remembers River Phoenix differently, but they all remember a very special and fascinating personality.
It's a movie about life, not about the death of someone who died too young.
