Back to the Future is a comedy franchise created by Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale. 

The franchise follows the adventures of a high school student, Marty McFly, and an eccentric scientist, Dr. Emmett ‘Doc’ Brown, as they use a DeLorean time machine to time travel to different periods in the history of the fictional town of Hill Valley, California.

The first Back to the Future film was the highest-grossing film of 1985 and became an international phenomenon, leading to the second and third films, which were back-to-back film productions, released in 1989 and 1990, respectively. 

Though the sequels did not perform quite as well at the box office as the first film, the trilogy remains immensely popular and has yielded such spin-offs as an animated television series and a motion-simulation ride at the Universal Studios Theme Parks as well as a video game and a stage musical. 

The film’s visual effects were done by Industrial Light and Magic. The first film won an Academy Award for Sound Editing

The three films were Back to the Future (1985), Back to the Future Part II (1989) and Back to the Future Part III (1990).

This comes six months after all four actors were last seen together.

Lea shared the shot to social media. Thompson captioned her post, ‘Wow, honestly had the best time today with my #bttf family.’

She added: ‘So many fun fan moments too and a llama.’

The beauty also shared more moments on her Instagram stories, including two adorable pictures with Fox, who played the iconic Marty McFly in all three films.

The Spin City alum took to his Instagram stories to show off a group photo with his arms around his fellow cast members.

He wrote: ‘I love being at these FanExpo events and seeing some of my favorite people like Lea, Tom, Chris and all you #bttf heads. Heavy.’

Wilson, who starred as Biff Tannen, shared a selfie of the group to his account with the caption: ‘Okay, so this happened. 2023.’

Thompson also included several videos with her co-stars and a behind-the-scenes look at the event in her post.

In one of the videos, she caught Lloyd, in the shot, who starred as Dr. Emmett ‘Doc’ Brown, the iconic scientist,

‘Look who’s here. Look what the cat dragged in,’ Thompson said of Lloyd, both boasting smiles on their faces.

Another clip showed her snuggling up to Wilson, calling him ‘my favorite, favorite guy ever.’

Wilson then replied: ‘I love this lady. It’s so great to see you. You’re so fabulous.’

She retorted, quoting Wilson’s character’s go-to insult from the films, ‘I’m a butthead, right?’

He then called back to his character by gently knocking his fist on Thompson’s head and said, ‘Hello, anybody home?’

Fox and Lloyd had a smaller reunion in October when the two shared an emotional moment at Comic-Con in New York.

The pair shared a warm embrace on the Comic-Con stage before participating in a panel together, almost 40 years after the first film’s release. 

‘The best part of this movie was working with Chris,’ he said, also adding that he found it ‘fun’ working with Chris ‘because he’s just genius.’

He also said that the pair had an ‘immediate chemistry,’ while Lloyd called Fox the ‘King of Exposition.’

Another topic for many fans has been Fox’s declining health.

The Doc Hollywood actor was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease in 1991.

Throwback: 'The best part of this movie was working with Chris,' Fox said, also adding that he found it 'fun' working with Chris 'because he's just genius'; Fox as Marty McFly

It was evident that the degenerative disease was taking its physical toll on his body as he was seen staggering as he walked on stage at the Comic-Con event.

Since his diagnosis, the iconic actor has focused his life on raising money to research the disease.

He has since raised over $1 billion in research funding via the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research.

In November, Fox was presented with an honorary Academy Award for his work surrounding the disease.
