Plot summary

Hill Valley, California, 1985. Destined to follow in his wimpy dad's footsteps, average high school teenager Marty McFly is about to make history. And when his crackpot scientist friend Emmett "Doc" Brown fashions a time machine out of a 1982 DeLorean DMC-12, Marty inadvertently jumps back 30 years to do the unthinkable. But things were different in 1955. Like a fish out of water, Marty gives his all to keep the time/space continuum intact; however, unforeseen romantic complications stand in the way of a safe return. Now, a pressing question arises. What will it take to go back to the future?—Nick Riganas
