In 1985, many of us enjoyed watching Michael J. Fox as Marty McFly accidently being warped back to 1955 in Dr. Emmit Brown’s time machine invention made out of a stainless steel DeLorean sports car. Remember the antics of Marty trying to find the younger version of Doc Brown to help send him back to his own time while simultaneously ensuring that his parents meet and fall in love so that Marty’s own existence continued?
