Back to the Future

Teenager Marty McFly is accidentally sent back to 1955 in a DeLorean time machine built by his eccentric friend Doc Brown. Stranded in the past he must find the 1955 Doc Brown and get back to 1985 — but first must ensure his teenage parents meet and fall in love or he will never be born. Robert Zemeckis’s film is a model of elegant plot construction where every element established early pays off with complete satisfaction. One of the most purely entertaining films ever made — every scene serves the story and the story serves the joy.
