Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Lea Thompson, Robert Zemeckis, Bob Gale, Frank Marshall, Kathleen Kennedy, and more—and tells the complete story of the production of the movies, from the initial concept to the staging of iconic scenes, such as the Enchantment Under The Sea dance and the hoverboard sequence, and the film’s groundbreaking special effects.

Written by Michael Klastorin—the production publicist on the second and third movies—and Back to the Future expert Randal Atamaniuk, this book will delve into the Back to the Future archives to deliver a range of surprises, including a wealth of special removable items, such as Marty McFly’s secret letter to Doc Brown, Doc’s sketch of the flux capacitor, and a flyer for the Enchantment Under The Sea dance.

The book also features a foreword by Michael J. Fox, a preface by Christopher Lloyd, an introduction by Bob Gale, and an afterword by Robert Zemeckis.
