Back to the Future is the time-travel trilogy anchored by Marty McFly and the eccentric inventor Doc Brown, who turn a DeLorean into a time machine. The 1985 original sends Marty back to 1955, where he nearly erases his own existence by disrupting his parents' first meeting. Part II bounces between a neon 2015 and a derailed timeline, and Part III strands the duo in the Wild West of 1885.
The films balance clockwork plotting with real warmth, building elaborate cause-and-effect puzzles around a likable pair. Beyond the movies, the characters have turned up in games as guest stars, including a crossover appearance in LEGO Dimensions. Mostly a film franchise, it remains a high-water mark for time-travel storytelling done with wit and heart.
The Back to the Future franchise spans 3 movies in the CrossBinge catalog.
