So many movies ... so much to celebrate!!!
On this day in 1985 (in the U.S.), Back To The Future roared onto silver screens, ushering in an all-new Science Fiction and Fantasy franchise for fans. Written (in part) and directed by Robert Zemeckis, the film starred Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Lea Thompson, and others.
According to our friends at IMDB.com, here's the plot summary:
"Marty McFly, a typical American teenager of the Eighties, is accidentally sent back to 1955 in a plutonium-powered DeLorean "time machine" invented by a 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."
For the record:
Since its theatrical debut, Back To The Future has established itself as one of Science Fiction's best comedies ... and it continues to earn praise decades after.
