  • In the chaos, Marty accidentally travels back in time to 1955, where he meets his parents, George and Lorraine, who are teenagers at the time. He also encounters a younger version of Doc, who is skeptical of Marty’s story but agrees to help him get back to 1985.

  • As Marty tries to fix his parents’ relationship, he also has to deal with the school bully, Biff Tannen, who has a grudge against his father. Marty also introduces his parents to rock and roll music, which inspires George to stand up to Biff and win Lorraine’s heart.
