The plot is very complex. After introducing the characters, Marty (Michael J. Fox) and Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd) meet up at the local mall parking lot so Doc can show off his latest experiment. He pulls a Delorean out of a trailer, but this is no ordinary Delorean, this one can travel back in time. Doc shows Marty how it all works with the time circuits, 88mph, Flux Capacitor and such. Long story short, some pissed Libyans drive up in a VW van shooting at Doc and Marty. Doc gets shot and Marty's only escape is in the Delorean back to 1955. Once there he runs into his mother, played by Lea Thompson. In 1955 she is in high school and is pretty hot. She begins to fall in love with Marty, which means that she is not in love with Marty's father, George McFly. If his mother does not fall in love with George McFly then Marty is never born in the future. Marty is now in charge of hooking up his own parents while attending high school with them. I don't wanna spoil the end, so I'm gonna stop there.
I enjoyed the movie for several reasons. First of all, it is cool as hell. Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd are both awesome. The characters they play are very developed and entertaining. Doc Brown is a sort of mad scientist and totally plays up the part. Also, the fact that Director Robert Zemeckis was able to come up with an time travel story for all age groups was impressive. Both parents and children alike enjoy this movie. The parents love the 1955 parts and the kids love fantasy of time travel. That's completely rad.
There were also two sequels to the movie. That means that there is a Back to the Future Trilogy. There is one more reason to love the movie, who doesn't like to say "trilogy?" The second and third movies were also excellent. The second film is very tightly integrated into the first, using the same shots at some points. It is almost as if the movies are one long film. It is seamless.
Nick, over and out.
