Back to the future – cult films by Steven Spielberg!

“Back to the Future” is an iconic film trilogy released in the 1980s, directed by Robert Zemeckis and starring Michael J. Fox als Marty McFly sowie Christopher Lloyd als Dr. Emmett “Doc” Brown in the main roles. Steven Spielberg served as producer.

The series begins with the first film (1985), in which Marty accidentally travels back from 1985 to 1955. He must ensure that his parents fall in love to secure his own existence before he can return to the present.

The second part (1989) takes Marty and Doc into the future (the year 2015), back to 1985 and finally to 1955 in order to prevent a catastrophic future. In the final third film (1990), Marty travels to 1885 to rescue Doc, who has decided to live in the Wild West.

Doc Christopher Lloyd and Michael J. Fox are simply a brilliant duo in the films.

5 fun facts about the films

Who turned the clock, is it really that late? Wrong franchise, but still fits!

1. Eric Stoltz war ursprünglich Marty: Eric Stoltz was first cast in the role of Marty McFly and filmed for several weeks before being replaced by Michael J. Fox as producers felt that Stoltz did not have the right “comedic timing” for the role .
2. The DeLorean was not the first choice: Originally the time machine was supposed to be a refrigerator-like device. However, this was changed to prevent children from locking themselves in refrigerators, leading to the iconic decision to use a DeLorean DMC-12.
3. Ronald Reagan quote: The then US President Ronald Reagan was so amused by the line “Ronald Reagan? The actor?!” from the first film that he quoted in his 1986 “State of the Union” address.
4. A real scientist as inspiration: The character of Doc Brown was partly inspired by Albert Einstein and the eccentric inventor Nikola Tesla.
5. Hoverboards became real: The hoverboards introduced in the second film sparked a huge wave of interest, and although they were pure fiction at the time, they inspired the development of real-world hoverboard technologies in the decades that followed.

This combination of innovative story, compelling characters and visionary concept has made “Back to the Future” a timeless series whose influence and popularity can still be felt decades later.
