Synopsis

Long before Marty McFly and Doc Brown traveled through time in a flying DeLorean, director Robert Zemeckis, and his friend and writing partner Bob Gale, worked tirelessly to break into the industry with a hit.



For the first time ever, the story of how these two young filmmakers struck lightning is being told by those who witnessed it. We Don’t Need Roads includes original interviews with Zemeckis, Gale, Christopher Lloyd, Lea Thompson, Huey Lewis, and over fifty others who contributed to one of the most popular and profitable film trilogies of all time.



With a focus not only on the movies, but also the lasting impact of the franchise and its fandom, We Don’t Need Roads is the ultimate book for anyone who has ever wanted to ride a Hoverboard, hang from the top of a clock tower, travel through the space-time continuum, or find out what really happened to Eric Stoltz after the first six weeks of filming.

Great Scott, this book featured tidbits about the best trilogy ever that even I didn’t know! The book itself is pretty straight forward – I don’t think it would hold the attention of a casual fan as it runs down behind the scenes info in chronological order. If you knew that Eric Stoltz filmed quite......more

Goodreads review by Benni

A really interesting book that made me want to rewatch the trilogy again. I haven't been all that diligent in reading BTTF tidbits, so most of the information was new to me. One thing I did know was the original casting of Eric Stoltz; even then, though, I still learned a lot more about why they rep......more

Goodreads review by Brandon

A fun, if slight, look at everything to do with 'Back to the Future'. I love the films and have heard a lot of these stories before, so it is to Gaines' credit that I did learn a thing or two. As a story, though, this leaves something to be desired; there is a little too much emphasis placed on thin......more
