BACK TO THE FUTURE Trilogy on DVD

It's a blast from the past, present and future -- three popular favorites available for the first time separately from Universal Studios Home Ent. on February 10, 2009: BACK TO THE FUTURE, BACK TO THE FUTURE PART II and BACK TO THE FUTURE PART III.

BACK TO THE FUTURE, the first in the series, is a special two-disc set that includes Back to the Future: The Ride for the first time ever on DVD in which fans can experience the complete Universal Studios theme park attraction including lobby monitor and pre-show footage. Also included is Looking Back to the Future, a brand-new 45-minute documentary featuring director Robert Zemeckis, making-of featurettes, deleted scenes and other bonus materials.

One of the most successful cinematic franchises created, with over $418 million in combined domestic box office grosses, the BACK TO THE FUTURE films -- all executive produced by Steven Spielberg, Frank Marshall and Kathleen Kennedy, produced by Neil Canton, directed by Robert Zemeckis and written by Bob Gale -- broke the mold of traditional adventure-comedy films and left an indelible mark on popular culture that still resonates among a huge fan base. The spectacular success of the original 1985 BACK TO THE FUTURE, which won the Academy Award for Best Sound Effects Editing and was also nominated for Best Original Screenplay, Best Sound and Best Song ("Power of Love"), catapulted the film careers of Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd and Lea Thompson.

The impact of the first film inevitably led to the futuristic 1989 BACK TO THE FUTURE Part II, featuring early roles in the then-budding careers of actors Elizabeth Shue, Billy Zane, Jason Scott Lee, and Elijah Wood; and the 1990 BACK TO THE FUTURE PART III, featuring Oscar-winning actress Mary Steenburgen and set in the Old West with an innovative mixture of sci-fi, western and romantic elements added to the familiar comedic adventure theme.

BACK TO THE FUTURE PART II: Brace yourself as the most spectacular time-travel adventure ever continues in BACK TO THE FUTURE PART II -- the sequel that proves that lightening can strike twice. Picking up precisely where they left off, Marty and Doc (Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd) launch themselves to the year 2015 to fine-tune the future and inadvertently disrupt the space-time continuum. Now, their only chance to fix the present is by going back to 1955 all over again before it is too late.
