Back To The Future, the 1985 blockbuster that sent audiences back in time, is making a grand return to the silver screen in Montreal. But this time a 70-piece symphony orchestra is along for the ride.

Now in high-definition, the film that zapped Marty McFly and Doc Brown into the hearts of millions is sharper, more engaging, and about to be louder than ever. Alan Silvestri's score, which powered the DeLorean across timelines, will fill the air live.

You'll also hear around twenty minutes of never-before-heard music from the award-winning composer — specially crafted for the fusion of film and live performance.

The time-travelling spectacle will take place in Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier at Place des Arts on September 1, 2024, at 7 p.m. Due to overwhelming demand, a second performance has been added at 2:30 p.m. on the same day.

The film will be presented in its original English version, complete with French subtitles. Tickets are available online with prices ranging between $65 and $125.

As Doc Brown would say, "Where we're going, we don't need roads." But you will need a ticket, so you might want to act fast.
