Fox) and Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd) to the wild, wild West. After Doc Brown accidentally sends himself too far into the past, he advises Marty not to follow (through a strategically placed letter). Upon learning that Brown may be in trouble, however, Marty takes the DeLorean and heads for 1885. Just as Marty convinces Doc to return to the present, a new complication arrives in the form of a lovely schoolteacher, Clara (Mary Steenburgen). With Doc head-over-heels and refusing to leave, Marty must do some fancy gun-slinging to keep them both alive. [More]

Reviews for Back to the Future Part III
A fitting end to one of the most enjoyable fantasy series of the 1980s.
A clever and enjoyable wrapping-up of the time-travelling adventures.
The simplicity of plot, and the wide expansiveness of its use of space, are a refreshing change from the convoluted, visually cramped and cluttered second part.
Fttingly the one installment in the trilogy that most resembles an old-fashioned movie, from its lovingly evoked western setting to its charmingly sentimental mood.
This is a good deal more likable than part two because the product plugs have been held back, and Zemeckis is clearly having fun alluding to his favorite westerns; there's also a certain sweetness and charm in the Lloyd-Steenburgen romance.
A triumphant combination of comedy, science fiction, romance and the Western.
Overall this is a good time, but the steampunk adventure doesn't thrill us quite as much as the original.
Except for Mr. Lloyd, the film is so sweet-natured and bland that it is almost instantly forgettable.
