Fun Fact
The time machine is a DeLorean car.

Meet Marty and Doc's Crazy Car!

Imagine a teenager named Marty McFly who has a super-smart, but a little bit wacky, scientist friend named Doc Brown. Doc invents a time machine out of a cool car, a DeLorean! But oops!

Marty accidentally zooms all the way back to the year 1955. That's like going back to when your grandparents were kids! Now Marty has a HUGE problem: he might have messed up how his parents met, and if they don't fall in love, Marty might disappear forever!

A Time Machine Made of a Car?

The DeLorean car looks like something from the future, but it's also the key to traveling through time! To go back to 1955, the car had to go super-duper fast, at 88 miles per hour. That's faster than most cars on the highway!

When it hits that speed and the special time circuits are activated, WHOOSH! The car disappears in a flash of light and leaves fiery tire tracks behind. It's like magic, but with science!

Uh Oh! Messing with the Past!

When Marty gets to 1955, he meets his own parents when they were teenagers. But he accidentally stops them from meeting and falling in love. This is a big problem because if they don't get together, Marty won't be born! He has to find a way to get them to like each other, like setting up a date for them. It's a race against time to fix the past so he can get back to his own time in 1985.

Getting Back Home is Tricky!

Besides making sure his parents fall in love, Marty also needs to figure out how to get his DeLorean time machine to go back to 1985. In 1955, they don't have all the same technology we have today. He needs a lot of electricity to power the time machine. He has to use a big lightning strike to give the car the energy it needs to make the jump back to the future. It's a super exciting adventure!
