For those who don’t know, and perhaps those who can’t remember, here is a quick overview: Back to The Future starring Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Lea Thompson, and Crispin Glover. The Sci-Fi hit movie – that was Michael J. Fox’s big break – tells the story of a teenager who is unintentionally sent back in time from 1985 to 1955, from where he meets his future parents in high school. Through a turn of events and arbitrary encounters with them, the future stands the risk of being altered and Marty McFly (Micahel J Fox) may perish if he doesn’t eradicate or alter these ‘past’ events… with the help of scientist Dr Emmet “Doc” Brown he has to find a way back to the future.
