Oct 23, 2015

This past Wednesday marked a very special day for all Back to the Future fans. For anyone who is familiar with the famous franchise, you know that October 21, 2015 was the exact date that Doc Brown and Marty McFly traveled to when they went thirty years into the future in Part II of the trilogy. In honor of the anniversary, Toyota teamed up with the film’s stars Christopher Lloyd and Michael J Fox in order to create a special tribute film that also celebrated the official launch of the new Toyota Mirai.

In the film, we see Lloyd and Fox discussing some of the technological advancements that were introduced in the film and compare them to what we actually do have available now. Then, they are joined by a young inventor who explains them the intricacies of the new Toyota Mirai and how it is powered by Hydrogen Fuel-Cell technology, the zero-emissions technology of the future that can create fuel out of anything, including garbage.

Check out the full short film below for a fun mixture of nostalgia and a look into the future.
