The beginning of "Back to the Future" originated in the early 1980s when director Robert Zemeckis returned home once. He saw his father's high school memorial book and discovered that his father was originally the chairman of the student union in high school. When Robert himself was in high school, he didn't even care about who the chairman of the student union was. So he thought, if he could meet his father when he was young, would he become friends with him? When his idea reached Bob Gale, another screenwriter, the movie began to conceive.

  • [repeated line]

    [lowers the camcorder]

    Marty McFly: Doc, you don't just walk into a store and-and buy plutonium! Did you rip that off?

    Dr. Emmett Brown: Of course. From a group of Libyan nationalists. They wanted me to build them a bomb, so I took their plutonium and, in turn, gave them a shoddy bomb casing full of used pinball machine parts. Come on! Let's get you a radiation suit. We must prepare to reload.
