Great Scott! 65yrs ago today, teenager Marty McFly landed back in the past (having left from Oct 1985) in a custom time machine DeLorean (powered by plutonium swindled from Libyan terrorists who were looking to make a bomb) that has the very device, and it further requires him to get back to the future (albeit unaltered negatively) on the same date of first departure. This all began when his eccentric scientist friend, Dr. Emmett Brown, envisioned the flux capacitor which was his invention that made time travel possible, after falling and hitting his head due to lightning striking a clock tower (while conducting an experiment) during a thunderstorm. Complicating Marty's 30yr gap arrival in 1955 even more is first having to find Doc for help, and then ensure the most unlikeliest couple ever gets together who will be his parents -- George, a bullied nerd & weakling, and desirable Lorraine whose smitten infatuation with Marty becomes sexual obsession. And all with the threat of Marty ceasing to exist if unable to return home through complicated quantum wormhole physics. Now that's heavy. [And incidentally, yes he does invent the skateboard but NO, as playful as the implication is, he DOES NOT invent rock n' roll].
