Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale met in the 60syears, when they studied at school. They dreamed of working at the Dream Factory. Young people stubbornly went to their goal. Zemeckis became a director in Hollywood and made a couple of films written according to Gale's scripts. One day in 1980, Bob Gale came to St. Louis to his parents. In the basement, he sorted out the old things and saw his father's school photo album. Bob thought, they would become friends with his father, if they suddenly went to the same class. Then the concept of the future scenario about the schoolboy, which is transferred to the past and begins to get acquainted with his parents, began to crystallize.

In the original version of the script, the protagonistwas a video piracy and traveled in time with the help of a refrigerator. But the children could decide that the film story was true and would start to get into the refrigerators. Then it was invented to use the car as a time machine.

Details of time travel were discussedZemeckis and Gail long enough. It was planned that Marty and Doc would go to a military training ground in Nevada to arrange a nuclear explosion there. His energy would be enough to move. The shooting of only this episode would cost $ 1,000,000, which for the mid-1980s was a truly fantastic amount. Less costly was the idea of ​​a lightning strike. This decision allowed to kill and two more rabbits: the action would not go beyond the town of Hill Valley, and the clock, which beats lightning, would symbolize Time. Ideas about the refrigerator and nuclear explosion, one of the producers "Back to the Future" Steven Spielberg used after many years, when the film "Indiana Jones: The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" was filmed

When the script was written, it was necessary for himfind money. Producers refused, because the project seemed unprofitable. It was much easier to find investors for a simple youth comedy without distortions of the space-time continuum. None of Hollywood's film studios did not agree to film Back to the Future, citing the fact that the idea is highly questionable. The Disney studio claimed that the film was indecent, since there was a romantic note between Marty and his mother when the teenager was in the past. But on the "Columbia Pictures" on the contrary found the film childish, arguing that a movie without erotics, violence and alcohol can not become successful. Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale rewrote the script at least twice, but there was still no money for the painting and the studio, which would have agreed to shoot it.

In 1984, a great success was the filmZemeckis "Roman with a stone", and then the director, "suddenly" turned out to be talented, no one could deny. But Zemeckis himself believed that the producer should be only Spielberg, who was originally crazy about the script.

To create an atmosphere of the 50's, the artistthe film "Back to the Future" Lawrence Paul had to consider about a thousand photographs and several times to see dozens of films made in those years. In many scenes, the elements of the scenery were authentic details, which increased the effect of immersion in the past.

For the filming of the film was built a fakecity. The facades of the buildings were erected near the studio "Universal Courthouse Square". From the idea of ​​filming in any real town had to be abandoned, since no one allowed to rebuild the whole area in the style of the 50's. First, we shot all the scenes of the past, and then the present. The scenery was aged, adding modern elements to them, and on the square in front of the building with a clock, instead of a lawn, an asphalt parking lot was made.

The residence of Dr. Brown was filmed in the "House of Black"attributed to historical values. School scenes were shot in a real school, which was once completed by the founder of the studio "Pixar" John Lasseter and US President Richard Nixon. A suitable dance hall for the school ball was found in the Methodist Church right in Hollywood.

When the shooting was over, George Lucas's studio"Industrial Light & Magic" in just two months has created all the special effects for the film, including the lightning striking at the clock, and Delorian's flight. For the scene, where the sister and brother Marty showed up in the photo because of the changed past, the giant guitar neck was specially designed, and the picture itself was several times increased. In another way, in 1985 such an effect was impossible to create. In total, the film "Back to the Future" uses 32 visual effects.
