Back to the Future is a comedy franchise created by Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale.
The franchise follows the adventures of a high school student, Marty McFly, and an eccentric scientist, Dr. Emmett ‘Doc’ Brown, as they use a DeLorean time machine to travel through time to different periods in the history of the fictional town of Hill Valley. , California.
The first Back to the Future movie was the highest-grossing movie of 1985 and became an international phenomenon, leading to the second and third movies, back-to-back movie productions, released in 1989 and 1990 respectively.
While the sequels did not perform as well at the box office as the first film, the trilogy remains immensely popular and has spawned such spin-offs as an animated television series and motion simulation ride at Universal Studios theme parks and a video game and stage musical.
The film’s visual effects were done by Industrial Light and Magic. The first film won an Academy Award for sound editing
The three films were Back to the Future (1985), Back to the Future Part II (1989), and Back to the Future Part III (1990).
This comes six months after all four actors were last seen together.
Lea shared the photo on social media. Thompson captioned her post, “Wow honestly had the best time today with my #bttf family.”
She added, “So many fun fan moments too and a llama.”
