The Collection
Back to the Future (1985)
Teenager Marty McFly is accidentally blasted thirty years into the past in a time-traveling DeLorean invented by his eccentric friend, Doc Brown. Trapped in 1955, Marty inadvertently interferes with his parents' first meeting, threatening to erase his own existence. He must orchestrate a romance between his nerdy father and his infatuated mother to ensure his birth, all while helping the younger Doc Brown harness a lightning strike to power the time machine and send him back to the future.
Back to the Future Part II (1989)
Marty and Doc travel to the year 2015 to prevent a family disaster, but their mission has unforeseen consequences when an elderly Biff Tannen steals the DeLorean to give a sports almanac to his younger self. Returning to 1985, Marty finds a dystopian nightmare where Biff is a corrupt billionaire and his father is dead. To restore the timeline, Marty and Doc must head back to 1955 again to retrieve the almanac without interfering with the events of their previous visit.
Back to the Future Part III (1990)
Stranded in 1955, Marty discovers that Doc Brown was transported to 1885 and killed by a notorious gunman shortly after. Ignoring Doc's instructions, Marty travels to the Old West to save his friend. However, when the DeLorean's fuel line is ruptured, the duo must devise a plan to push the time machine to 88 miles per hour using a steam locomotive, all while dealing with outlaws and Doc's newfound romance with a schoolteacher named Clara.
