Back to the Future
PG | 1985 | Michael J. Fox, Lea Thompson
A skateboarding teenage boy, Marty McFly, befriends an oddball scientist who's working on a time-travel machine. When the scientist is killed in a drive-by shooting, Marty decides to go back to the future just far enough to save him, but he goes back too far—to the 1950s—and is suddenly face to face with teenage versions of his mother and father.
