The unlikely hit spawned two sequels, an animated series, theme park ride, and musical, and made household names out of its cast, thrusting Christopher Lloyd, Crispin Glover, and Lea Thompson into the spotlight, and solidifying Michael J. Fox as one of Hollywood's most bankable stars. Featuring interviews with Michael j fox, Lea Thompson, Robert Zemeckis, Billy Zane, Alan Silvestri, Huey Lewis, and co-creator, Bob Gale, Back To The Future: Behind Closed Doors tells the inside story of the unlikely series of events that got the film off the ground as the crew grappled with cost overruns, an overly ambitious schedule, and unprecedented casting change that rocked the production. At the time, nobody could have predicted the impact the movie would have at the box office, and around the world for generations to come. Written by Reelz Channel See less
