Back to the Future (1985): ****

October 26^th 1985. Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) may be a gifted guitar-player with a nice girlfriend called Jennifer (Claudia Wells), but Marty is a slacker and seems destined to join his dweeby father George (Crispin Glover) as the latest failure of the McFly family. His friend Dr Emmett Brown (Christopher Lloyd) has told him to meet him in the early hours of the morning, to show him his latest invention. Doc Brown has created a time-machine fitted in a DeLorean DCM-12, powered by plutonium to travel forwards or backwards in time once you hit 88 miles per hour. Suddenly, they are ambushed by Libyan terrorists and Marty accidently travels to 5^th November 1955, leaving Doc behind and with no plutonium to get him back to 1985. His encounter with his teenaged parents George and Lorraine (Lea Thompson) means the future has changed and Marty is slowly fading away. Marty has to find enough energy to power the DeLorean, ensure his existence and get back to Doc Brown in 1985.
