Back to the Future Part II. 1989. USA. Directed by Robert Zemeckis. 108 min.

Screenplay by Bob Gale, from a story by Robert Zemeckis, Gale. With Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Lea Thompson. The inevitable sequel to Back to the Future propels Marty McFly from 1985 to the distant future of October 21, 2015, where he must intervene to save his own son, Marty Jr., from a life of crime. The special effects, by Industrial Light and Magic, represented a breakthrough in digital compositing, allowing Marty to glide through a meticulously detailed suburb of the future (designed by Rick Carter) on his personal Hoverboard.

This film accompanies What Lies Beneath: The Films of Robert Zemeckis.
