    Originally released in 1985, Back to the Future was directed by
    Robert Zemeckis and stars Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd,
    Lea Thompson, Crispin Glover, and Thomas F. Wilson. The movie is
    the first in a trilogy of films, and follows the story of Marty
    McFly (Fox), a teenager who is sent back to 1955 in a
    time-traveling DeLorean.

    The Back to the Future franchise is one of the biggest sci-fi
    franchises ever. The first film, in particular, is often heralded
    as one of the greatest movies ever made. In 2007, the United
    States Library of Congress selected the film for preservation in
    the National Film Registry. Following its release, two sequel
    films were released in 1989 and 1990.
