A Time Travel Trilogy!
A Time Travel Trilogy!
Marty McFly, a typical American teenager of the Eighties, is accidentally sent back to 1955 in a plutonium-powered DeLorean "time machine" invented by slightly mad scientist, Doctor Emmett Brown. During his often hysterical, always amazing trip back in time, Marty must make certain his teenage parents-to-be meet and fall in love -- so he can get back to the future. In the sequel, Marty must save the future of Hill Valley and his family, the adventures take him to 2015, 1955 and an alternate 'bad' 1985 controlled by the bully Biff. In the final film, Marty goes back to Hill Valley of the old west to rescue his friend Doc Brown from being killed by none other than 'Mad Dog' Buford Tannen, ancestor to the bullying Biff Tannen!
