Starring: Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Lea Thompson
The year is 1985 and seventeen-year-old Marty McFly is
looking for his friend, the older eccentric scientist, Emmett “Doc” Brown
(Lloyd). Doc’s been working on a project to travel through time using a time
machine made out of a DeLorean car. On the test run, Marty accidentally ends up
travelling back to the year 1955 and has to get his parents (Thompson, Crispin
Glover) together so he can be born.
The film that made the 80’s throwback car, the DeLorean, a
cool car to have today, Back To The Future stands alongside the Star Wars films
and ET: The Extra Terrestrial (1982) as the absolute peak of the
family-friendly sci-fi action blockbuster (although parents be warned, there’s
a fair bit of cursing). The film works based on the clever screenplay (though
the film leans perhaps a little too much on over-idealistic nostalgia much like
Zemeckis’ later film Forrest Gump (1994)) and charismatic acting as well as the
cutting-edge CGI. Exciting and endearing in equal measures, Back To The Future
is one of the few films that everyone must see, and probably has seen, at least
once.
