Hitting cinemas way back in 1985, you only need to listen to your parents for a few moments to realize that Back to the Future was one of the best movies of the time. Still spoken about over four decades later, the sci-fi/comedy film also set during the 80s follows the story of Michael J. Fox’s Marty McFly having to go back in time after an experiment goes wrong courtesy of weird scientist Dr. Emmett Brown. Now back in the 1950s, Marty must reunite with the younger version of his parents and find a way to return to the present.

“Stuntman: Hollywood is built on the speed and control of an arcade racer, the spectacular chaos of crashes and destruction, and the precision a difficult stunt demands. And then comes that short, exact call: “Cut!”” The official PlayStation blog post reads.
However, what is perhaps the most exciting, is the news that Stuntman: Hollywood will feature “stunts inspired by fan-favorite Universal Pictures films and NBCUniversal TV shows like Fast & Furious, Back to the Future, Knight Rider, Miami Vice, and Death Race.” Yes, you heard it, Back to the Future will be making an unexpected return in this upcoming racing game.

From one episode to the next, the environment, pace, objectives, and scenes all change. Every film feels completely fresh.”
By performing the stunts needed for each movie, you will gradually achieve stardom and become the best man for any job in Hollywood.
