Marty McFly and Emmett “Doc” Brown are legendary names are only in the science-fiction genre but in the world of films as a whole. Created by Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gales, Back to the Future was released in July 1985. It was a critical and commercial success, becoming the highest-grossing film worldwide of 1985. It starts Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Lea Thompson, Crispin Glover and Thomas F. Wilson.
Set in 1985, teenager, high-school student and aspiring musician Marty McFly is sent back to 1955, by accident, in a time-traveling DeLorean, constructed by his crazy-haired, eccentric friend and scientists Emmett “Doc” Brown, after fleeing a parking lot from Libyan terrorists and reaching the required 88 miles per hour. Unable to return to 1985, he meets his teenage father (George McFly) and mother (Lorraine Baines), inadvertently stopping his parents from falling in love, slowly writing himself out of his own future existence. With a plan to return Marty to 1985 and a plan to get his parents back together in motion, the latter goes wrong when Biff locks Marty in the trunk of a car before making inappropriate advances on Lorraine. Despite this, an enraged George rescues Lorraine. Marty is freed by the musicians at the school dance and plays the guitar as the lead guitarists hurts his hand getting Marty out the trunk. With Marty playing, George and Lorraine share their first kiss. The future saved, Marty races to find Doc at the courthouse where a lightning bolt produces the 1.21 gigawatts of power need to return him to 1985.
The film went on to be nominated at the Golden Globe Awards, the Academy Awards, British Academy Film Awards and the Saturn Awards (among others). When released on VHS in 1986, it cost $79.95 but became the first film to sell 450,000 tapes at this price point, whilst also being the most rented of the year. There are two sequels (released 1989 and 1990) and a musical (opening night was in 2020, though closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, reopening in 2021).
All of the music in the Back to the Future franchise is written by the brilliant Alan Silvestri (with The Musical being co-written with Glen Ballard). The only directing that Robert Zemeckis gave Silvestri was “it’s got to be big”, and it sure was, designing a theme that is recognisable within only a few notes.
