Steven Spielberg's '80s Sci-Fi Masterpiece Officially Returns to Theaters

We're now less than three months away from the biggest sci-fi event of the year. The long-awaited Dune: Part Three, already an early pick for a Best Picture nomination at next year's Oscars, will cap off Denis Villeneuve's acclaimed trilogy adapting Frank Herbert's Dune novels. Four-time Oscar nominee Timothée Chalamet returns as Paul Atreides, joined by an eye-catching cast including Zendaya as Chani, Javier Bardem as Stilgar, Rebecca Ferguson as Lady Jessica, Anya Taylor-Joy as Alia Atreides, Florence Pugh as Princess Irulan, Jason Momoa as Hayt, and many more.

But when it comes to iconic sci-fi trilogies, the final entry in the Dune saga shouldn't be the only title on your big-screen radar. There are few sci-fi trilogies as important and beloved as Back to the Future, with director Robert Zemeckis' and producer Steven Spielberg's timeless time-travel adventure taking audiences where they don't need roads and defining the genre for generations. Michael J. Fox, fresh out of the TV series Family Ties, broke into Hollywood opposite Christopher Lloyd's enigmatic Doc Brown in the film's three entries.

Thanks to events in the sequel, with Marty and Doc traveling to October 21, 2015, this date came to be known as Back to the Future Day to fans. This year, twelve months on from the huge 40-year celebrations, prepare to celebrate Back to the Future in perfectly futuristic style, as the original film returns to theaters in 4DX format. With moving seats and environmental effects, a trip in the DeLorean never seemed so enticing, although you'll have to hurry to get your tickets, as the film is only being re-released for one day.

The 'Back to the Future' Celebrations Don't Stop There

Alongside this special 4DX re-release, you can celebrate Back to the Future with Back to the Future: The Complete Screenplay, a new book from Bob Gale. The special release will feature Gale's personal shooting script, complete with revision pages, handwritten notes, deleted scenes, rare photos, sketches, production documents, and much more. "This is going to be really instructional about how movies are made, how scripts are written," Gale said in an interview. "The mistakes are in there, the deleted scenes are in there, the stuff that we changed, stuff that we thought we were going to do that we didn't do. It's chock full of stuff like that."
