Look alive, it's Back to the Future Day — the day that Marty McFly time-traveled to in Back to the Future II and a time to recognize how iconic the franchise is. In honor of the special day, Universal put together a special video message from Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd).
It opens to the first few chords of the movie's theme song, and, well, you're hooked. Nostalgia floods in as Brown talks about how the future isn't really what we expected it to look like (that's mostly true). But then he gets at the central message of the movie — how we're in control of our own destiny.
"Your future is whatever you make of it," he says, repeating an iconic line from the movie. "So make it a good one."
Contributions are a key part of the future of Vox
Readers rely on Vox for clear, nuanced coverage that not only illuminates the issues, but poses solutions, too. And we rely on help from our readers: Advertising and grants cover the majority of our costs, but we count on contributions to help us close the gaps in our budget. In fact, we’re looking to reach 95,000 individual contributions before the end of the year. Will you make the next contribution right now? Our average gift is just $20 — and it goes a long way in helping us keep our work free.
