Back to the Future - Airs Monday, July 4 at 5p/4c

From the Academy Award-winning filmmakers Steven Spielberg and Robert Zemeckis comes BACK TO THE FUTURE - the original, groundbreaking adventure that sparked one of the most successful trilogies ever! When teenager Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) is blasted to 1955 in a DeLorean time machine created by the eccentric Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd), he finds himself mixed up in a time-shattering chain reaction that could vaporize his future - and leave him trapped in the past. Powered by innovative special effects, unforgettable songs and non-stop action, BACK TO THE FUTURE is an unrivaled adventure for the entire family that stands the test of time.

Back to the Future Part II - Airs Monday, July 4 at 7:30p/6:30c

Getting back was only the beginning as the most spectacular time-travel adventure ever continues in BACK TO THE FUTURE PART II. Picking up precisely where they left off, Marty McFly and Doc Brown 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.

Back to the Future Part III - Airs Monday, July 4 at 10p/9c

They've saved the biggest trip for last as the most popular time-traveling movie trilogy ever comes to a rousing conclusion in BACK TO THE FUTURE PART III! Stranded in 1955 after a freak accident, Marty McFly discovers he must travel back to 1885 to rescue Doc Brown before he becomes smitten with school teacher Clara Clayton (Mary Steenburgen). Now, it's up to Marty to keep Doc out of trouble, get the DeLorean running and put the past, present and future on track so they can all get back to where - and when - they belong.
