Movie Summary

This science-fiction comedy is about a typical American teenager of the 1980s, Marty McFly (played by Michael J. Fox), who is accidentally sent back to 1955 in a plutonium-powered DeLorean "time machine" invented by slightly mad scientist. During his often whimsical and humorous trip back in time, Marty must make certain his teenage parents-to-be meet and fall in love so that he can get back to the future. Back to the Future was the most successful film of the year when it was released, grossing more than $380 million worldwide and receiving critical acclaim.

Movie Review for Parents - Our View

-by Allison

Back to the Future makes time travel not only fun, but also brings science fiction to the masses in a comedic adventure that follows teenager Marty McFly, played Michael J. Fox. Fox makes this movie click. His charming qualities and well-timed lines with his co-stars, including Christopher Lloyd (Dr Emmett Brown) and Leah Thompson, will find you cheering and laughing throughout the movie.

Back to the Future is a perfect flick for those with school-aged children on up. This film has some mild fighting and name calling. This trip back in time will give your kids a glimpse of what it was like in your time and in their grandparent’s time. It will put a grin on everyone from your elementary school to high school student and mom and dad too.
