Written by Robert Zemeckis and Bob Dale and directed by Zemeckis, the "Back To The Future" trilogy was a childhood favorite of millions of people throughout the world for many years. As producer, Steven Spielberg spared nothing to bring a first class cast to an exciting and funny script.
The films tell the story of an eccentric scientist, Dr. Emmett Brown, played by Christopher Lloyd, who discovers a way to travel through time using a modified DeLorean automobile. Doc's partner in this adventure was Marty McFly, played to perfection by Michael J. Fox.
Rounding out the cast were Lea Thompson, who played Marty's mother (Lorraine Baines McFly), Thomas F. Wilson, who played Marty's nemesis Biff Tannen (and his grandson Griff Tannen and great-grandfather Buford "Mad Dog" Tannen) and James S. Tolkan, who played Marty's school princpal. In the first "Back to the Future", Crispin Glover played Marty's father, George McFly, but unfortunately wasn't able to come to an agreement to play the same role in the next two movies.
Back to the Future was the highest grossing film of 1985, which led to the release in 1989 and 1990 of the sequels. While they weren't as successful as the original, they formed a trilogy that has remained popular for more than 25 years. In all, they were nominated for five Academy Awards, winning one for Best Sound Editing.
