“Great Scott!” It’s hard to believe that it has been 40 years since *Back to the Future* first graced theaters in July 1985. This iconic film not only captured the hearts of audiences but also became a significant part of pop culture history. Starring Michael J. Fox as the time-traveling teenager Marty McFly and Christopher Lloyd as the eccentric scientist Dr. Emmett Brown, the film tells the story of Marty’s adventures as he travels back to 1955 and inadvertently risks altering his own future.

Upon its release, *Back to the Future* quickly climbed to the top of the box office, dominating for nearly three months. It garnered numerous accolades, including a nomination for Best Original Screenplay at the 1986 Academy Awards, and eventually led to two successful sequels in 1989 and 1990. However, the impact of the film extended far beyond its commercial success; it transformed the careers of its stars and left an indelible mark on the entertainment industry.

Reflecting on his unexpected rise to fame, Michael J. Fox recalled in a 2001 interview, “I didn’t think about having a film career. There was a silliness to the role that I think they kind of pictured me for. … Basically within a week, I was doing both jobs. I’d do *Family Ties* in the daytime and I’d do *Back to the Future* at night, I was working 18, 19, 20 hours. … Then all of a sudden it was a huge hit.”

Fast forward to today, and the cast members of *Back to the Future* continue to reflect fondly on their time spent filming the beloved classic. In May 2020, Fox and his co-stars participated in a remote reunion hosted by superfan Josh Gad, celebrating the film’s milestone anniversary. During this reunion, actress Lea Thompson expressed her surprise at the film’s lasting impact, stating, “I didn’t really have any idea that this movie would still have people that want to talk about it. That’s so incredible.”
