Back to the Future. A completely original and brilliantly funny adventure film from the award winning team executive producer Stephen Spielberg and director Robert Zemickis. By the time you watch the opening sequence of this film you know you are in for a treat. Its 1985 and a 17 year old wannabe rock star kid (Michael J Fox - Teen Wolf,) finds himself transported back in time 30 years by plutonium-powered DeLorean time machine invented by his crazy friend Dr Emmett Brown. (Christopher Lloyd- Cuckoos Nest). After a series of events and without the use of modern day equipment he is stuck for a week in the 50's bumping into his parents as teenagers, avoiding his present day oaf neighbour Biff Tannen, and working with his "1950's counterpart!" Doc Brown, to help him get back home. But will he make it on time? One of Michael J Fox's best performances, especially singing on stage living out his dream to be a rock star playing Johnny be good! Christopher Lloyd is wonderfully cast in this role as his eccentric friend Emmett Brown bringing a big dose of humour to the film. This is a great trilogy of family films, which even today 21 years after its release is as fresh as it was then. Its one of those films you want to see over and over again.
Back to the future 2 There Back!! And this time they're in the future. 2015 in fact. Expect more laughs, action adventure, flying cars, hover boards, and by their history tweaking antics create an alternate Hill Valley where Biff Tannen is rich, powerful and Marty's Dad!
Back to the future 3 Yee Ha!!!! Doc Brown has been living in the wild west for the past 70 years and with Marty stuck in the 50's he makes a decision to go back and save him before he is shot in the back by Buford Tannen. Filled with all of the Back to the future gagetry, action, imagination and humour, it's a spectacular finale to one of the most popular adventure comedy film series of all time!
I can never get tired of watching these films; they are timeless classics, which will be around forever. And on this 4 disc special it is jammed with behind the scenes footage, hilarious outtakes and making of the back to the future films documentaries which will keep you entertained for hours.

I wasn't sure whether to give this a helpful or a somewhat. I decided to be nice, but I still feel you could have done with more detail, especially about two and three.
