Back to the Future (1985)
At 1:15 am on October 26, 1985, Marty McFly, a likable underachiever, meets his eccentric mentor Doc Brown in the deserted center of their small town. Doc reveals that he has converted a DeLorean DMC-12 into a time machine that runs on plutonium. The terrorists who were tricked out of the plutonium by Doc, attack him and Marty. Marty manages to escape in the vehicle, only to find out that he has gone back thirty years in time to the 1950s.
He accidentally prevents his father, George, from being hit in a car accident. The problem is that this is Marty's father as a teenager. If he had been hit, George would have been helped inside the home of Lorraine, and the two would have come together as a couple. Instead, Lorraine falls for Marty. If this altered situation continues, Marty and his siblings can never be born. Desperate, Marty turns to the young Doc Brown for help.
