Since it's original cinema release in the 80's, The Back to the Future Trilogy has amassed a staggering worldwide box office revenue of US$926 million. In fact, 'Back to the Future' was the worldwide highest grossing film of 1985. For generations time travel has captivated readers and movie-goers alike, and this August the most revered series of films in this genre will not only be re-lived by those who treasured the original cinema releases - but will be introduced to a whole new generation on DVD. It doesn't matter if you are a fan of the 80's, Michael J Fox, or the technology of DVD - this is an event not to be missed, being one of the most anticipated DVD releases of all-time. Back to the Future follows the amazing adventures of Marty McFly (Michael J Fox), a high-school student in the small Northern California town of Hill Valley. The fun begins when Marty’s friend and mentor, crazed scientist Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd), invents a time machine in the form of a nuclear-powered DeLorean. Marty accidentally finds himself transported back to the year 1955 where he is faced with the prospect of having no future, unless he can get his bumbling teenage father (Crispin Glover) and flirtatious mother (Lea Thompson) to fall in love while keeping town bully Biff Tannen (Thomas F.Wilson) away. And, of course, he must convince a young but still crazed Doc Brown to help him get back to the future. Back to the Future II continues with Doc Brown returning from the future. Doc Brown convinces Marty and girlfriend Jennifer (Elisabeth Shue) to travel with him into the future where Marty must ensure his future son does not participate in a crime that would lead to catastrophic consequences. They return to 1985 only to find Biff Tannen has managed to obtain money and power thus creating an alternate 1985. Marty and Doc Brown realise they must once again go back in time to 1955. In the conclusion to the trilogy, Marty receives a telegram in 1955 from Doc Brown who has been transported further back in time to 1885. Through research, Marty discovers that Doc Brown is murdered shortly after writing the telegram. Marty must decide, should he go back to 1885 and rescue Doc Brown or make his way safely back to 1985?
