About this movie

The final installment of the Back to the Future trilogy finds Marty (Michael J. Fox) digging the trusty DeLorean out of a mineshaft and looking up Doc (Christopher Lloyd) in the Wild West of 1885. But when their time machine breaks down, the travelers are stranded in a land of spurs. More problems arise when Doc falls for pretty schoolteacher Clara Clayton (Mary Steenburgen), and Marty tangles with Buford Tannen (Thomas F. Wilson).

Ratings and reviews

This movie is better and improves a lot from the 1989 sequel. Still, it doesn't live up to the first. Unfortunately, it's a lot like the first two movies. That could be good, but could also be bad. Everything unfolds in the exact same manner. They travel back in time, Marty gets a head injury, wakes up someplace, confronts Biff, and then meets back up with Doc Brown. However, Doc's life has never been in danger before, and that's a welcome addition to the plot. It's also a fun spin on a western movie.

While an a improvement over part 2 it doesn't reach the heights that the first film had. But still has great characters, story, climax, and, once again, great twists. Probably the best twists in the series.

A funny moive as Christopher Loyd and Michael J. Fox team up again to deliver non-stop laughs and adventure in this third installment of the back to the feature series.
