If you're a fan of 80s cinema, like a little sci-fi, or simply like high-tension, high-concept capers, chances are you've already seen “Back to the Future” and its two sequels [Robert Zemeckis' sci-fi comedy is just a lot of fun from the get-go

The first film was released in 1985 and was the highest grossing film of that year With a likable lead actor, Michael J Fox, who played Marty McFly, the film spun a playful and deeply entertaining tale with plenty of funny moments No wonder two sequels were made

But if you haven't seen any of them yet and plan to stream “Back to the Future” on Netflix, that needs to change soon That's because the entire “Back to the Future” trilogy is leaving Netflix on Monday, September 30 Back to the Future will be leaving Netflix on Monday, September 30

I'm looking for a little more information on “Back to the Future” to decide if I want to add it to my watch list before it's too late Broadly speaking, all three films involve Marty McFly (Michael J Fox) and his time travel involving himself and Dr Emmett Brown (Christopher Lloyd) Below is a brief summary of what we can expect from the three films In [Back to the Future], Doc Brown's experiment goes wrong and Marty is sent back in time to the 1950s in a powered-up DeLorean Marty not only tries to return home, but also gets a younger version of his parents to fall in love with him If he fails, he may cease to exist

In the sequel, Back to the Future Part II, Doc convinces Marty to travel to the future, then 2015, to stop his son from going down a bad path and ruining his family's future Meanwhile, Marty's nemesis Biff Tannen manages to acquire a DeLorean and uses it to drastically alter his own destiny, forcing Doc and Marty to travel back in time to fix the situation

1990's Back to the Future Part 3 concludes with a sci-fi western After Doc and Marty suffer a mishap at the end of Part 2 and are stranded in separate eras, Marty uses the DeLorean to return to 1885 and save his friends from Biff's great-grandfather, the outlaw Buford “Mad Dog” Tannen

I truly believe that if you haven't seen Marty's adventures yet, you should check out the “Back to the Future” trilogy
