Join Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox), Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd) and a time traveling DeLorean for the adventure of a lifetime as they travel to the past, present and future, setting off a time-shattering chain reaction that disrupts the space-time continuum! Now, fans old and new will experience the thrill of Back to the Future on a big high-def screen with the Minnesota Orchestra performing Alan Silvestri’s dazzling musical score live.
A Few Things to Know
- Destined for greatness? Back to the Future screenwriter Bob Gale said the script for the film was rejected in total over 40 times. Every major studio (some more than once) passed on what would become one of the most iconic film franchises of all time until Universal Pictures finally gave it the green light.
- American composer Alan Silvestri has composed scores for over 80 films, including four Avengers movies (including its now-iconic theme) and all three Back to the Future movies.
- LET IT ALL OUT: When you watch a film live at Orchestra Hall, you can cheer for your favorite moments (and boo your least favorite characters) as you and the audience enjoy this truly unique and collective experience together.
