Back to the Future movie posters from Zemeckis's 1985 science fiction comedy rank among the most beloved items in 1980s family film collecting. Produced by Steven Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment for Universal, it became the highest-grossing film of 1985 and generated a theatrical campaign that is among the most beloved in 1980s popular cinema.
Drew Struzan's artwork for the original US one-sheet set a visual standard for the entire trilogy. The DeLorean DMC-12 at 88 mph, the flame trails, Michael J. Fox's Marty McFly and Christopher Lloyd's Doc Brown captured in Struzan's signature warm-light illustration style — this is one of the most recognizable images in eighties cinema. Struzan produced distinct artwork for each subsequent film: Back to the Future Part II (1989) with its futuristic imagery and Back to the Future Part III (1990) with its Western-frontier palette. International campaigns adapt the Struzan imagery with varying degrees of fidelity: British quad versions use wider horizontal compositions; French grandes affiches carry the full Struzan painting; Japanese B2 variants sometimes use different character arrangements.
Available in US one-sheets, British quads, French grandes affiches, Japanese B2s, Italian foglio, advance variants, and lobby card sets. Condition runs Fine to Very Fine throughout the collection. Original Drew Struzan one-sheets from the 1985 Universal release are seldom found in fine unfolded condition.
