Directed by Robert Zemeckis, “Back To The Future” (1985) is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, remaining one of the biggest blockbusters of 1980s American cinema. Its immense popularity led to two more sequels and even live musicals that continue to attract audiences in the 21st century. While many science fiction films have explored time travel, the tantalizing ideas of confronting the past, changing history to fix the present, and the resulting uncertainty about the future have always fascinated not just sci-fi geeks but the general audience as well. More than being just a science fiction film, “Back To The Future” (1985) created a template for many mainstream entertaining films that blend family, satire, and drama. Like the works of Lucas, Spielberg, and Cameron, most of Zemeckis’ films are widely seen and appreciated, cementing his place among the great filmmakers of his time.
