It is Back to the Future Day on October 21st, so put on your Nikes, load a VHS, and start your DeLorean. Established in 2015 (a momentous year for diehard fans), the original “Back to the Future” is a science fiction masterpiece from 1985 that achieved an impressive worldwide revenue of almost $400 million. October 21 is a celebration of all the memorable characters from the iconic “Back to the Future” trilogy, including Marty McFly and Doc Brown.
The background of Back to the Future Day
In the present day, our destination does not require roads. In 1985, the Back to the Future franchise, which was both iconic and epic, provided a view into the potential future for millions of individuals. Although time travel and hoverboards, which still irritate us, were not inventions of ours, we did obtain a fascinating glimpse into the future that has materialized. More later on that. October 21 is celebrated as Back to the Future Day, commemorating the date Marty McFly’s initial time travel to the past occurs, which undoubtedly initiated his existential journey.
Numerous plot twists and turns abound in the original film, but it is its vision of early prototypes of modern technology—including large flat displays, virtual reality eyewear, video conferencing, computer tablets, and biometric scanners—that truly justifies its own commemorative day.
Ironically, according to a 2015 CNN Back to the Future Day anniversary article, the most groundbreaking aspect of the film was Fox’s ability to share sequences with himself via the VistaGlide motion-control system. In conclusion, Back to the Future Day not only provides the 1985 audience with a glimpse into our contemporary technologically advanced lives, but it also offers a very interesting time-travel film experience.
The date of Back to the Future Day is doubly significant in and of itself. As reported by “Business Insider,” screenwriter Bob Gale selected October 21, 2015 as the date on which the Chicago Cubs would triumph in the World Series. Gale describes this prediction as “the most absurd thing we could think of” in 1985 (Gales was a year off, the Cubs ultimately won the series in 2016). The notion that the Cubs will win the World Series provides Marty McFly with a “hook” for the second narrative of the film. Marty McFly, portrayed by Fox, embarks on a journey to the year 2015 in the sequel “Back to the Future Part II” with the intention of rescuing children who are not even a “twinkle in their father’s eye.”
A must-see for almost all science fiction aficionados, Back to the Future consistently provides an entertaining and energizing journey through time, replete with memorable characters and genuinely catchy dialogue. Therefore, on October 21, watch this movie and recite “Great Scott.”

Back to the Future Day Activities
Establish a time record
Simply as you did when you were a child, and if you have children, they will enjoy it as well. Complete a box with mementos you envision your future self relishing, such as photographs, concert tickets, or mementos from your nuptials. When your box is filled, place it in the basement, the back of a closet, or the backyard if you anticipate remaining in the same residence for an extended period of time. It is crucial to incorporate a letter to your future self in which you articulate all of your aims and aspirations.
Celebration of “Enchantment Under the Sea Dance”
While securing Marty McFly to perform on stage may prove challenging, one could suggest encouraging acquaintances to don their finest bobby sox, prepare punch (spiked for those of legal age), and boogie to classics in the style of that iconic dance. One never knows, perhaps you will discover something “that truly cooks.”
Attempt to develop time travel
There is no better method to express the “wild-eyed scientist” within us all than by striving to imitate the approach taken by Dr. Emmet Brown. While acknowledging the irrationality of this notion, it is enjoyable to envision the possibility that one may, you know, astonish not only one another but the entire world.
