Storyline
Marty McFly, a typical American teenager of the Eighties, is accidentally sent back to 1955 in a plutonium-powered DeLorean "time machine" invented by slightly mad scientist. During his often hysterical, always amazing trip back in time, Marty must make certain his teenage parents-to-be meet and fall in love - so he can get back to the future. Written by Robert Lynch <docrlynch@yahoo.com>

Trivia
A very brief scene was cut in-between the scenes of the McFly family dinner and Marty being woken up by Doc's phone call. It involved Marty preparing to send his demo tape to a record company. Marty decides not to do it, and leaves the empty manila envelope on his desk. In a scene that remains in the film, he goes to breakfast with the manila envelope sealed, suggesting he decided to send it in. See more »Goofs
Revealing mistakes: In the bedroom where Marty first wakes up to meet Lorraine, the stormy early morning light from the window can barely light the end of the bed. She turns the light on and thereafter you can see the light from the rainy window throws clear shadows onto the wallpaper at the back of the room, even though the bedroom light is now on.
