The future for 17-year-old Marty McFly is not shaping up well. His family is dysfunctional. Also his schoolteacher is out to get him and the rest of the world doesn’t care. Only with his girlfriend, Jennifer and local eccentric scientist, Dr Emmet Brown does he find the encouragement and excitement he needs. One of the not-so-crazy scientist’s experiment goes slightly wrong and Marty is caught up in it to find himself at the wheel of a DeLorean car – converted into a time machine. It roars back to 1955 where he meets his parents when they were his age and sets out to make a man out of his dim-wit father.
