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
While it was planned to use the date, November 5th in the film, which happens to be Bob Gale's birthday as well as Mary Steenburgen's, interestingly enough, based on accurate calenders, November 12, 1955 actually did occur on Saturday. See more »Goofs
Revealing mistakes: Although he had a remote unit for the DeLorean at first, Doc is actually inside the DeLorean as it backs out of the van. With its gull wing doors, there is no way he could have gotten into the DeLorean inside the van. See more »Quotes
