Beginning in 1985, Back to the Future is a film trilogy revolving around teenager Marty McFly and eccentric scientist Emmett "Doc" Brown traveling through time using a DeLorean.

This ride continued the story of the films, with Doc having revealed time travel to the world and founded the Institute of Future Technology to continue his research.
