In Back to the Future Part II, what date does Marty McFly travel to in the future?
Answer
October 21, 2015
In Back to the Future Part II, Marty McFly travels to October 21, 2015.
Doc Brown takes Marty and Jennifer to that date to prevent their future children from making a disastrous decision. The date appears on the DeLorean’s time circuits and became one of the film’s most recognizable details.
The movie was released in 1989, so 2015 represented a distant future when audiences first watched it. Some predictions, such as wearable video technology and large flat-screen displays, seemed remarkably prescient, while others, such as widespread hoverboards, did not arrive as shown.
October 21, 2015 was widely celebrated as “Back to the Future Day.” The film’s date is sometimes confused with November 5, 1955, the date Marty first travels to in the original film, or October 26, 1985, the date of the opening time-travel experiment.
