The seventeen-year-old realises he is late and rushes to Hill Valley High School on his skateboard, but he's caught sneaking into school by the head of discipline, Mr Strickland, Marty's band, the Pinheads, are due to audition for the school dance today but Strickland dismisses their chances, "No McFly ever amounted to anything in the history of Hill Valley!" he says. "Yeah, well, the history's gonna change," replies Marty prophetically, but the band is quickly eliminated and a despondent Marty walks his girlfriend Jennifer Parker to Hill Valley's Courthouse Square afterwards. Their conversation is interrupted by an insistent woman campaigning to preserve the Courthouse Clock Tower. It was struck by lightning thirty years ago and has not worked since Marty gives the woman twenty-five cents to go away and gets a Save The Clock Tower flyer, which he pockets Arriving home, he's in time to see his father George humiliated by supervisor Biff Tannen, The McFly home is tackily decorated and the family are losers. At dinner Marty's mother Lorraine remembers how she met George her father h it him with a car. She fell in love with the injured teenager and decided to spend the rest of her life with him when they kissed for the first time at the Enchantment Under The Sea dance. After midnight Marty meets up with Doc, a wildeyed man of unknown years. He unveils his latest experiment, a time machine built in a DeLorean motor car Marty, Videotapes Doc as he explains how he invented time travel thirty years ago after hitting his head while hanging a clock. Doc came to with a,Vision of the flux capacitor, which is what makes time travel possible. The DeLorean needs plutonium to generate the 1.21 jigowatts of electricity needed for time travel. Doc swiped his plutonium from some Libyan terrorists who suddenly turn up seeking vengeance and Doc is brutally gunned down. Marty escapes by jumping into the time machine. Suddenly he's in 1955, though still in the Hill Valley area. He hides the DeLorean and walks into town. Marty is culture shocked by all the differences between Hill Valley of his time and 1955 - for example, the clock tower is still working. The teenager goes into a cafe to look up Doc's 1955 address and witnesses a teenage Biff humiliating a youthful George McFly, just like in 1985. Marty follows his father-to-be across town and saves George from being hit by a car but gets knocked down himself. He comes to several hours later in the home of his teenage mother, Lorraine. Marty flees when she starts coming on to him and goes to Doc's place. He eventually convinces the 1955 Doc that he comes from the future by retelling the story about the flux capacitor vision, They recover the time machine and Marty uses the video camera to show Doc the explanation of how it works, Doc is dismayed by the need for plutonium, The only power source capable of generating 1,21 jigowatts in 1955 is a bolt of lightning. Marty remembers the clock tower flyer, which shows the exact time it will be hit by lightning in a week this Saturday night: Doc says he may be able to get Marty home. Then they discover the teenager has interfered with his parents' first meeting. A photo from Marty's wallet shows he and his siblings fading away unless Marty can repair the damage by getting his parents-to-be together, he will be erased from existence, as if he never lived. Marty goes to Hill Valley School and tries to get George to ask Lorraine to the Enchantment Under The Sea dance, but George isn't interested. Marty has to masquerade as an alien to convince George to ask Lorraine to the dance. Before George gets a chance, Biff starts humiliating him again so Marty picks a fight with Biff. In order to escape, Marty invents a skateboard and Lorraine follows the mysterious Marty to Doc's place and coaxes him into asking her to the dance. Marty talks George into going to the dance alone and "rescuing" Lorraine from Marty in the parking lot. The night of the storm - which is also the night of the dance - arrives. Doc sets up cable running from the clock tower which will channel the lightning bolt's power to the flux capacitor. Marty tries to warn him about the future and the Libyans but Doc refuses to listen. Marty writes him a warning note instead which he hides in Doc's coat. At the dance, Biff gets Marty and Lorraine before George. Biff's croonies carry Marty away and lock him in a car boot while Biff stays with Lorraine. George turns up for the "rescue" but is confronted with Biff instead of Marty. The bully starts humiliating George again but the worm finally turns. Mat gets out of the car boot in time to see George lay out Biff with one punch! The 1985 teenager plays guitar at the dance so George and Lorraine can kiss for the first time, saving arty's future. Then he rushes to the town square, gets into the DeLorean and prepares to go back to the future. A falling branch breaks and the cable connection, and Doc scrambles to fix it. He succeeds just in time - the lightning bolt strikes the clock tower and Marty hurtles back to 1985. Marty arrives too late to stop Doc being shot by the Libyans but Doc survives anyway. Doc read the note and is wearing a bullet-proof vest. The inventor drops Marty home and heads off to the future in the time machine. Next morning, Marty wakes up and finds the McFly home and family transformed. Everyone is stylish and wealthy, his father is a successful, confident writer. Biff is reduced to a browbeaten car polisher! Jennifer comes round to visit Marty when suddenly Doc reappears in the time machine, clad in futuristic garb "Marty, you've got to come hack with me!" he says "Where?" asks Marty. "Back to the future!" replied Doc. He says something has got to be done about Marty and Jennifer's kids. All three get into the DeLorean which flies off into the future! |
