Small-town California teen Marty McFly is thrown back into the 1950s when an experiment by his eccentric scientist friend, Doc Brown, goes awry. Traveling through time in a modified DeLorean car, Marty encounters young versions of his parents and must make sure that they fall in love, or he’ll cease to exist. Even more dauntingly, Marty has to return to his own time and save the life of Doc Brown.
Directed by Robert Zemeckis and written by Zemeckis and Bob Gale, this movie stars Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Lea Thompson and that iconic car.
