The Time Machine (1960) & Back to the Future (1985): From H.G. Wells to the 80's

"Are You Telling Me You Built A Time Machine...Out Of A DeLorean?" In this episode of Journey Through Sci-Fi, we explore two of the most iconic time-travel stories in science fiction. First we discuss The Time Machine (1960), the classic adaptation of H.G. Wells' novel that helped establish many of the ideas behind cinematic time travel. Then we look at Back to the Future (1985), Robert Zemeckis' hugely influential sci-fi adventure about a teenager accidentally sent back to the 1950s in a time-travelling DeLorean. Together these films show how time travel stories can explore both humanity's distant future and the consequences of changing the past. Journey Through Sci-Fi explores the history of science-fiction cinema one subgenre at a time. Follow the show for deep dives into sci-fi classics, cult favourites and the ideas that shaped the genre.
