From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The film picks up directly at the last film: Marty opens up the garage door to find his new Toyota Four-by-Four and Jennifer Parker is also there. Just then, Doc comes back to the present, places a few pieces of trash in the "Mr. Fusion" attachment to the DeLorean, and tells Marty it has to with Jennifer and Marty's children. The DeLorean backs up and flies off toward the skies (as the DeLorean now flies). Everything is going great until Biff runs out of the house with new matchbooks he printed up for his auto detailing business and sees the DeLorean fly off to the future.

Marty McFly, "Doc" Brown and Jennifer Parker arrive at Hill Valley, October 26, 2015. After nearly hitting a flying car in a skyway highway, Jennifer begins asking many questions about her and Marty's future. Doc tranquilizes Jennifer, who is not necessary for his plan, explaining that he brought her along only because she saw the time machine. Hopefully Marty can convince her it was all a dream. After landing in Hill Valley, Marty and Doc leave Jennifer in an alley, expecting her to remain unconscious while they attend to the crisis involving Marty's children. Doc explains that Marty's son is about to be approached by Griff Tannen, Biff's grandson, and his gang, who will offer him the chance to take part in a robbery. According to Doc, this event leads to the ruin of the entire McFly family (as his son will be sentenced for 15 years and his daughter will attempt to break him out, and her getting 20 years). After wandering around the donwtown of the future, where Marty impersonates his future son and tells Griff he will not join the robbery; however, his self-control breaks violently when he is accused of being a "chicken". The resulting confrontation leads to a hoverboard chase that damages the nearby courthouse. Griff and his gang are arrested and the planned robbery never occurs.

Before reuniting with Doc, Marty notices a sports almanac in a store window which lists sports statistics through the year 2000. Imagining the potential for financial gain in 1985, Marty buys the book. Doc discovers the almanac and throws it away, chiding Marty for the selfishness and danger of his plan, insisting that the purpose of inventing a time machine was for scientific (rather than financial) gain. Meanwhile, Jennifer, still tranquilized, is found by the police, who mistake her for her future self after thumbprint identification, and take her to her future home, waking her up just as they arrive. Confused, she hides in a closet, witnessing the Marty of 2015 being fired from his job after he is caught in an illegal scheme that his colleague, Douglas Needles, goads him into joining (again by taunting him he is too 'chicken' to try it). Travelling to the house, Doc leaves Marty with the DeLorean, finds Jennifer and sneaks her out of the house. Along the way, she encounters her older self, with the shock causing her to pass out again. Unable to carry her himself, Doc calls Marty for help, leaving the DeLorean unguarded.

While Doc and Marty rescue Jennifer, Biff (age 78), having overheard Doc and Marty talking about time travel, recovers the discarded sports almanac and steals the De Lorean. He returns the car just before Marty and Doc prepare to leave for their own time, stumbles away in pain and collapses, apparently stabbed by his own, broken walking stick. Bonus features on the DVD allude to the fact that Biff was killed by Lorraine in 1996. Upon arrival in 1985, Marty and Doc find that Hill Valley has become a dilapidated, crime-ridden slum lorded over by a middle-aged Biff, who is now immeasurably rich and powerful thanks to decades of successful sports betting, to which he proceeded to roll over the gambling winnings into toxic waste dumps and to purchase the Hill Valley courthouse and convert it into a luxury hotel and casino. Biff has also married Marty's widowed mother, Lorraine, after secretly killing her husband George. Doc deduces that the Biff of 2015 must have given the almanac to his younger self sometime in the past. Marty confronts Biff and finds out that he received the almanac on November 12, 1955, the date of the lightning storm that Marty used to get back to the future. Biff then tries to kill Marty (with the same gun used to kill George) as he now knows too much, but is saved by Doc when Doc knocks him out with the Delorean's gull-wing door. Marty and Doc travel back to 1955 to prevent Biff from getting the almanac. Marty, after a long and complicated series of events involving his multiple attempts to recover the almanac while making sure that he does not undo all the help he rendered in the previous film to his parents, eventually manages to steal the book from the 1955 Biff with the help of Doc in the flying DeLorean, and burns it, restoring history to its proper course. As Doc attempts to land the De Lorean to pick Marty up, the car is struck by lightning, causing it to disappear, the time machine having been activated by the strike. A few minutes, later a Western Union delivery man appears with a letter, which he explains was sent seventy years ago with the explicit instructions that it be delivered to Marty "at this exact location, at this exact minute, November 12, 1955". Marty opens the letter, which is from Doc, explaining that he is now trapped in 1885. Knowing he has only one source of help, Marty runs to the clock tower to find the Doc of 1955, just as lightning strikes to send the previous film's Marty back to the future. Seeing the new Marty, whom (he thinks) he has just sent back to 1985, Doc faints. The film ends as Marty bends over Doc, trying to revive him.
