Back to the Future is a 1985 American science fiction film directed by Robert Zemeckis. Back to the Future boasts a fun time travel plot, a ton of likable characters, and subject matter that appeals to adults and children alike. (слайд с обложкой + лицо Земекиса)

According to Zemeckis, the 2015 depicted in the film was not meant to be an accurate depiction of the future. However, the film did correctly predict a number of technological and sociological changes that occurred by 2015 (слайда 3-4 с просто сценами из второй части), including: the rise of ubiquitous [ju:'bɪkwɪtəs] cameras; use of unmanned flying drones for newsgathering; widescreen flat-panel television sets mounted on walls with multiple channel viewing; video chat systems; hands-free video games; talking hologram billboards; wearable technology; tablet computers with fingerprint scanners; and head-mounted displays. Payment on personal portable devices is also depicted (если найдешь кадр с этим, будешь умницей). Although payment by thumbprint is not widely used, fingerprint scanning is in use as security at places such as airports and schools, and electronic payment with fingerprint scanning as a security feature is deployed for Apple Pay (эпл пэй тоже впихни). Cars and other vehicles have been able to be run using fuel generated from food wastes, though not through a fusion reactor as suggested in the film. The popularity of 3-D film in the 2010s was also somewhat accurately predicted, although overlaid polarized imagery ['ɪmɪʤ(ə)rɪ] remains the standard format (as it has been since the 1950s, since updated in modern times to digital) and holography [hɔ'lɔgrəfɪ] is still not in use for major films (кадр с голограммой, если найдешь).

Other aspects of the depiction of the future had not come to pass by 2015, but efforts were made to replicate the technology advances.

The film shows Marty putting on Nike "Air Mag" tennis shoes with automatic shoelaces. Nike released a version of their Hyperdunk Supreme shoes, which appear similar to Marty's, in July 2008. Fans dubbed them the Air McFly. In April 2009, they filed the patent for self-lacing shoes, and their design bears a resemblance to those worn by Marty in the film. In 2010, a fan named Blake Bevin created shoes that tie themselves. Though Nike had made a very limited quantity of Air Mags in the same style as the movie, they stated in September 2011 that their consumer-line MAG line of shoes would not feature the self-lacing feature shown in it. Tinker Hatfield, one of the shoe's designers, indicated in 2014 that they would introduce shoes with power-lacing technology the following year, 2015. In March 2016, Nike unveiled the HyperAdapt 1.0 shoe, which is a consumer-market model of the Air Mag and features the same self-lacing technology they used for the commemorative Air Mags, and were put on sale in limited quantities in late 2016 (здеееесь можешь поискать кадры из фильма с обувью и инфу по всем представленным вариантам и впихнуть в презу).

The concept of the hoverboard—a skateboard that can float off the ground—has been explored by various groups since the release of the film. Attempts similar to hoverboats, which blast air at the ground, have been demonstrated, with a 2015 record distance of 275 meters. A different type is the MagBoard, developed by researchers at the Paris Diderot University. It uses a large superconductor plate on the bottom cooled with liquid nitrogen as to achieve the Meissner effect and allow it to float over a special track; it was shown capable of carrying the weight of a human in its practical demonstration. However, the requirement to run the superconductor at higher, more ambient temperatures prevents this from becoming practical. In March 2014, a company named HUVr Tech purportedly [pɜː'pɔːtɪdlɪ] demonstrated a working hoverboard along with several celebrities including Lloyd, though this shortly was revealed as a hoax [həuks] created by the website Funny or Die. Self-balancing 'hoverboards' became popular in 2015 even though they do not hover above the ground (здесь то же самое).
