Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd took us “OUTATIME” via Doc’s plutonium-charged 1981 DeLorean DMC-12 on this day in their first film in the Back to the Future series. The story was written by Robert Zemeckis, who also directed, and Bob Gale.
“Wait a minute. Wait a minute, Doc. Ah...are you telling me you built a time machine...out of a DeLorean?”
— Michael J. Fox as Marty McFly, Back to the Future, 1985
“The way I see it, if you’re going to build a time machine into a car why not do it with some style?”
— Christopher Lloyd as Doctor Emmett Brown, Back to the Future, 1985
