Plot Summary:
Marty McFly (played by Michael J. Fox) is a high school student living in Hill Valley, California, in 1985. His friend, Dr. Emmett “Doc” Brown (played by Christopher Lloyd), is an eccentric scientist who has developed a time machine out of a DeLorean car. During a demonstration of the time machine, Marty is accidentally sent back to the year 1955.

In 1955, Marty encounters a younger version of his parents, George (played by Crispin Glover) and Lorraine (played by Lea Thompson), who are not yet married. Marty inadvertently interferes with their meeting, putting his own existence in jeopardy. He seeks the help of a younger Doc Brown to repair the time machine and return to 1985.

While attempting to fix the time machine, Marty seeks the assistance of the younger Doc Brown, who initially dismisses him as crazy. Eventually, they devise a plan to generate the required 1.21 gigawatts of electricity needed to power the DeLorean and send Marty back to the future. Marty also befriends a younger version of his school principal, Mr. Strickland (played by James Tolkan), and must avoid encounters with the teenage version of his future nemesis, Biff Tannen (played by Thomas F. Wilson).

During his time in 1955, Marty meets a younger version of his mother, Lorraine, who develops a crush on him instead of his father, George. This creates a series of comedic and dramatic situations as Marty tries to ensure that his parents meet and fall in love, thus securing his own existence.

Ultimately, with the help of Doc Brown and a restored DeLorean, Marty successfully returns to 1985. However, the time machine malfunctions, and Doc Brown is accidentally sent back to 1885. The movie ends with Marty receiving a letter from Doc Brown, informing him that he is alive and well in the past and instructing him not to attempt to rescue him.
