Before learning of that, let’s check out the trilogy at the worldwide box office.
The sci-fi franchise was created by Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale. It follows the adventures of a high school student and an eccentric scientist as they use a DeLorean time machine to travel to different time periods in the history of the fictional town of Hill Valley, California.
