Back to the Future

Director: Robert Zemeckis

1985 / 116min / 35mm

Synopsis feels almost superfluous when dealing with Back to the Future. Marty McFly. Emmett Brown. Biff Tannen. George McFly. Lorraine Baines. Your cousin, Marvin Berry. The DeLorean. 88 MPH. “The Power of Love.” Calvin Klein. “Great Scott!” “This is heavy…” “Hey, you, get your damn hands off her…” “I’m your density.” If you’ve seen it, all of that should make sense; if you haven’t, well… hop to it! The first and finest installment of Zemeckis and writer Bob Gale’s zesty time-travel trilogy with a deliciously Oedipal twist, and the film that catapulted Fox to A-list status overnight.
