“Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads.” – Doc Brown
Back to the Future is an American science fiction comedy franchise written by Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale, directed by Zemeckis and produced by Gale and Neil Canton for Steven Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment, and distributed by Universal Pictures. The franchise follows the adventures of a high school student, Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox), an eccentric scientist, Doctor Emmett "Doc" Brown (Christopher Lloyd), and, in the third film, Clara Clayton (Mary Steenburgen), a schoolteacher, as they use a DeLorean time machine to time travel to different periods in the history of Hill Valley, California. The first film was the highest-grossing film of 1985 and became an international phenomenon, leading to the second and third films, which were back-to-back film productions, released in 1989 and 1990, respectively. Though the sequels did not perform quite as well at the box office as the first film, the trilogy remains immensely popular and has yielded such spin-offs as an animated television series and a motion-simulation ride at the Universal Studios Theme Parks in Universal City, California; Orlando, Florida; and Osaka, Japan (all now closed), as well as a video game and a stage musical. The film's visual effects were done by Industrial Light and Magic. The first film was nominated for five Academy Awards, winning one (Best Sound Editing).
Hot Toys has unveiled the ultimate collectible for Back to the Future fans — an ultra-detailed 1/6 scale replica of the DeLorean as seen in Back to the Future Part II. The events of Back to the Future Part II see the time-traveling duo Marty McFly and Dr. Emmett Brown hop into their modified DeLorean / Time Machine to travel into the future to save Marty's future son from disaster. Except, when they return, their own timeline has somehow transformed completely! Inspired by the fan-favorite sci-fi adventure classic Back to the Future Part II, Hot Toys presents the iconic DeLorean Time Machine as a 1/6 scale collectible vehicle.
Crafted with impressive workmanship and attention to detail, the movie-accurate DeLorean Time Machine collectible vehicle measures 28.34" (72cm) long.
