Clever time travel comedy that effectively launched Michael J Fox's career - he's still shaking with excitment even now - this deals slickly with the concept of altering future events through apparently inconsequential actions in the past.
A reasonably convoluted plot involving Fox playing a teenager who goes back in time and inadvertently sets off a chain of events that may ultimately result in his parents not getting together, thus rendering him a non-existent person.
Fox is a likeable lead, ably supported by Christopher Lloyd as 'Doc' Brown, his mad scientist friend.
A thoroughly enjpoyable yarn.
