Back To The Future Dates Of Time Travel
If you're a fan of the Back to the Future franchise, you'll know that in the second movie, Marty McFly and Doc Brown travel to several different dates in the future and past. But have you ever wondered exactly when each of those dates is?
In this article, we'll take a look at all of the Back to the Future dates of time travel, what they mean, and how accurate the movie's predictions were. So buckle up and get ready to travel through time with us!
1985
The first date we see in the Back to the Future franchise is, of course, 1985 - the year in which Marty McFly lives at the beginning of the first movie. We see various dates within 1985 throughout the trilogy, including October 26th (the day of the big school dance) and November 5th (the day Doc Brown invents time travel).
October 21, 2015
Perhaps the most famous date in the Back to the Future franchise is October 21st, 2015 - the day that Marty and Doc travel to in the second movie. This movie was released in 1989, so the filmmakers had to make some predictions about what the world would be like in 2015. Some of their predictions were eerily accurate (such as video calls and fingerprint scanners), while others were a bit off (no flying cars or hoverboards yet, sadly).
1955
In the first Back to the Future movie, Marty accidentally travels back in time to 1955 - the year in which his parents were teenagers. This is where he meets his parents as teenagers, including his mom Lorraine and his dad George. The date they travel to is actually November 5th, which is the same day that Doc Brown invents time travel in the future.
1885
In the third and final Back to the Future movie, Marty and Doc travel back to 1885 - the Wild West. This is where they meet Doc's ancestor, Clara Clayton, and have to figure out how to get the DeLorean up to 88 miles per hour in a time before cars. The date they travel to is September 2nd.
1992
While this date is not actually shown in any of the Back to the Future movies, it's worth mentioning because it appears in the ride at Universal Studios' theme parks. In the ride, Doc Brown takes us to the year 1992 to stop Biff Tannen (Marty's enemy) from stealing the DeLorean. The ride has since been closed, but 1992 remains an interesting addition to the Back to the Future timeline.
Conclusion
So there you have it - all of the Back to the Future dates of time travel. While the movies are certainly a work of fiction, it's fun to think about what the world might be like if some of the predictions made in the second movie had come true. Regardless, the Back to the Future franchise remains a classic and beloved series for many fans.
