About Back to the Future Part II
"Getting back was only the beginning."
Marty and Doc are at it again as the time-traveling duo head to 2015 to nip some McFly family woes in the bud. But things go awry thanks to bully Biff Tannen and a pesky sports almanac. In a last-ditch attempt to set things straight, Marty finds himself bound for 1955 and face to face with his teenage parents -- again.
Directed by Robert Zemeckis
Written by Bob Gale, Robert Zemeckis
