Synopsis: "He was never in time for his classes... He wasn't in time for his dinner... Then one day...he wasn't in his time at all." Ever wonder what your parents were like as teenagers? Thanks to a time machine—in the form of a Delorean sports car—built by eccentric scientist Doc Brown (Lloyd in a wonderful, underrated performance), Marty McFly (Fox) accidentally travels back to the 1950s, where he gets to mingle with his parents while they are in high school. The only problem is that Marty, being the new kid in town and one who is able to stand up to the local bully Biff (Wilson), ends up being a big hit with everyone...including his mom, and changes the course of history. Determined to correct his interaction with the past and get his parents-to-be (Thompson and Glover) to meet, fall in love, and ensure his own future existence, Marty, with the help of Doc Brown, goes through one adventure after another in his effort to get "Back To The Future." The top-grossing movie of 1985, Robert Zemeckis' "Back To The Future" is a funny, nostalgic, and adventurous trip through time. Watch for a cameo by rock star Huey Lewis (who also contributed two songs to the soundtrack). Nominated for four Academy® Awards, including Best Original Screenplay. (Michael Coate)

Back To The Future Part II 4K Ultra HD

Edition Type: 35th Anniversary Trilogy | 4K Ultra HD | Blu-ray Digital Code

Genre/Catagory: Fantasy Adventure
Rating: PG
Aspect Ratio: 1.85:1
Disc Soundtrack: Dolby Atmos, Dolby TrueHD 7.1
Disc Release Date: 10/20/2020


Synopsis: "Getting back was only the beginning." Following the phenomenal success of the first movie, a sequel was inevitable. Picking up where the last movie ended, "Back To The Future Part II" has Marty (Fox), Doc Brown (Lloyd), and Jennifer (Elisabeth Shue taking over for Claudia Wells) racing off to the future, where Marty ends up purchasing a sports almanac and unknowingly changes history. Biff (Wilson) steals the book and as a result disrupts the space-time continuum, creating an alternate 1985 that Marty and Doc return to. This leads to Marty's attempts to retrieve the book from Biff to set history back on its correct course. And in a dazzling display of showmanship on the part of the filmmakers, we are treated to an inventive reenactment of the Enchantment Under The Sea dance sequence from the first movie from a totally new perspective. While the sports book is retrieved, Marty never corrects the parallel existence, and Doc is accidentally sent back in time to 1885, which leads to a classic cliffhanger ending. Look for future "Lord Of The Rings" star Elijah Wood as a video game-playing kid in the Cafe 80s. (Michael Coate)
