In this 1980s sci-fi classic, small-town California teen Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) is thrown back into the '50s when an experiment by his eccentric scientist friend Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd) goes awry. Traveling through time in a modified DeLorean car, Marty encounters young versions of his parents (Crispin Glover, Lea Thompson), and must make sure that they fall in love or he'll cease to exist. Even more dauntingly, Marty has to return to his own time and save the life of Doc Brown.

Critics Consensus

Inventive, funny, and breathlessly constructed, Back to the Future is a rousing time-travel adventure with an unforgettable spirit.

Pauline Kael

The New Yorker

What pushes Back to the Future over the edge from so-so to oh-no is its willing complicity in the continuing glorification of the '50s.

Marsha McCreadie

Arizona Republic

Remember how Huck Finn daydreamed about going to his own funeral? Back to the Future does an inverse, witty turnabout on this theme.

Times (UK)

Michael J. Fox is bright and likeable, convincing as a 17-year-old, and excellent when he introduces rock-and-roll to a stunned high school audience only just getting over doo wop.

Screen Rant

Robert Zemeckis' rip-roaring sci-fi comedy classic still holds up four decades on from its release and is a fitting reminder of the power of love.

Rated: 10/10 •

CBR

Strip away the sci-fi, and this trilogy is a tale as old as time. It's a classic hero's journey, the story of someone growing up and discovering where his power really lies.

Rated: 9/10 •

Epoch Times

The ultimate American summer blockbuster. Incredibly clever, nostalgia-packed, and never gets old. To sum up BTTF in one line: "Last night Darth Vadar came down from the planet Vulcan and said if I didn't ask Lorraine to the dance, he'd melt my brain!!!"

Rated: 5/5 •
