Dad's Preview:
This now iconic film's success hinged on properly casting the lead.
Wisely, director Zemeckis replaced Eric Stoltz with quick-witted
Michael J. Fox from TV's
Family Ties. The rest is film
history. It's a time-jumping adventure that keeps the viewers guessing
as altering actions in the past might impact the
future. Think about it - what would you change if you could travel back in time to
meet your parents in high school? There no way that won't get a little weird.
This is a sci-fi classic. |
