Marty McFly is a teenager who despairs of his wimpy father and so spends an unhealthy amount of time with ageing eccentric inventor, Doc Brown. Doc's new invention is time travelling DeLorean car which is fortunate as the doc is gunned down by random 80s terrorists. The time jump is Marty's escape route and he goes back to 1955. There he meets the younger version of his parents, gets them together, makes bad on the school bully, finds his way back home (with the help of the seemingly ageless Doc) and introduced Rock'n'roll to an unreceptive small town America.
It's an 80s classic and it was good in it's day. I was never really a fan myself. I never really found a likable character in it. Everyone is a bit weird or creepy. It's not a bad film by any means, but it does puzzle me when it comes up on peoples all time lists.
To me, it's just OK. Okay? Part 2 was so bad that I have never bothered with part 3, though I hear that it's watchable. Oh I am just full of glowing reviews of this franchise!
