Geocache Description:

Do you remember BACK TO THE FUTURE?  At the end of the first part of the trilogy, Doc arrives outside Marty's house to inform him of serious issues with Marty's son in the future. The date that is set to: 21 October 2015 16h29. The second part starts off at this point too.


BACK TO THE FUTURE - BACK TO THE CACHE

Let's relive this iconic movie from the eighties!

Back to the Future Part II is an 1989 American science fiction film and the second installment of the Back to the Future trilogy. It was directed by Robert Zemeckis from a screenplay written by Bob Gale, and stars Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Thomas F. Wilson and Lea Thompson. The plot picks up immediately where the original film left off On October 26, 1985, Dr. Emmett "Doc" Brown arrives in his flying DeLorean time machine and persuades Marty McFly and his girlfriend, Jennifer Parker, to come back to the future with him to help their future children. Biff Tannen witnesses their departure. They arrive on October 21, 2015 at precisely 16h29, where Doc electronically knocks out Jennifer and leaves her asleep in an alley, explaining that she should not have too much knowledge of future events. He has Marty pose as his own son to refuse an offer to participate in a robbery with Biff's grandson, Griff. The film did accurately predict a number of technological and sociological changes, such as the rise of ubiquitous cameras, flat panel television sets mounted on walls, the ability to watch six channels at once, Internet video chat systems, increased use of plastic surgery, head-mounted displays, and automated fueling systems. The film also correctly predicted a future where video games do not need hands or, at the very least, do not need traditional controllers.  However, it also predicted flying cars, which sadly, have not been invented just yet!
