Todorov's Theory

Back to the Future

Outline
A boy and his old inventor friend go thirty years into the past, using their time travelling DeLorean.

Equilibrium
Marty Mcfly is living a normal life in 1985 but has an old friend who is an inventor.

Disruption
Marty is attempting to flee labanese terrorists in the DeLorean but when he hits 88 MPH, he begins to time travel back to 1955. In 1955 he accidentally ruins his mum and dads relationship and the DeLorean ran out of fuel.

Recognition
Marty realises that he can't go back to 1985 until he fixes his parents relationship and he can power the DeLorean.

Repair
Marty powers the DeLorean using a bolt of lightning and a metal rod. He sets up a situation where his dad saves his mum and she falls in love with him. Marty then returns to 1985.

New Equilibrium
Marty and his family live in a nicer house with more money due to his dad's book writing skills and his increased confidence.
