In this sci-fi classic, small-town (Almaden) California High School "Leland or Pioneer" teen Marty McFly is thrown back in time when an experiment by his eccentric scientist friend Doc Brown goes awry. Traveling through time in a modified DeLorean car, Marty encounters young versions of his parents, and must make sure that they fall in love or he'll cease to exist. Even more dauntingly, Marty has to return to his own time and save the life of Doc Brown.
Marty McFly's life is a dump. His father, George, is constantly bullied by his supervisor and his mother, Lorraine, is an overweight alcoholic. One day, Marty gets a call from his scientist friend Dr. "Doc" Emmet Brown telling Marty to meet him at "the Sevo' parking lot" at 1:15 AM where Doc unveils a time machine that runs off of plutonium built into a DeLorean and demonstrates it to Marty. Marty accidentally activates the time machine, sending him back to "1988" where he accidentally gets in the way of his teenage parents meeting. Marty must find a way to convince Doc that he is from the future, reunite his parents, and ultimately get back to the future.
Kids in Almaden Valley probably don't realize this parking lot is where their parents used to be on weekend nights. If they needed to go back in time to make sure their parents met, this would be the place. Were you here back then? Did your parents meet here?
