Plot
Marty McFly, a teenager in 1985, is accidentally sent back to 1955 in the DeLorean time machine built by the eccentric scientist Doc Brown. He disrupts the first meeting of his parents, and must make sure they fall in love, or he will never be born, while finding a way to get back. Robert Zemeckis's 1985 comedy, with Michael J. Fox, was a huge hit.
Sinekatalog’s take
A perfectly engineered time-travel comedy: every setup pays off. Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd are ideal, and the film is as warm as it is clever.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
