Back to the Future with Jonathan Paula

In 1985, Universal released a time travel comedy called Back to the Future. Produced by Steven Spielberg and directed by Robert Zemeckis, this film sees Marty McFly (played by Michael J. Fox) accidentally wind up in his hometown thirty years in the past.

Before helping his friend Dr. Emmett Brown with an experiment that sends him back in time, Marty lives a life that isn’t exactly inspired. Besides the bright spot of his girlfriend, his dad’s a loser, his mom has let herself go, and he has no reason to believe in himself.

Once Marty lands in 1955 and gets in the way of fate by inadvertently interrupting the first time his parents meet, he has to make sure they meet and fall in love before he heads back to the future. Or else he will cease to exist and there will be no future.
