Save the Clock Tower! Save the Clock Tower! For Back to the Future’s 40th anniversary, Collider is thrilled to be premiering an exclusive sneak peek that takes you behind the scenes of the movie’s most famous landmark: Hill Valley’s clock tower. The featurette digs into how Universal’s Courthouse Square became so tied to Marty and Doc that the studio ultimately had to tweak and re-dress the set so other films and shows could use it without instantly screaming, “Great Scott!” You’ll see archival materials, build sketches, and fresh commentary that tracks the tower’s life from 1955 to 1985 — and beyond.

The clock tower is the location of one of cinema’s famous moments — November 12, 1955, when Marty McFly used lightning to propel the DeLorean at 88mph back to the future. It’s one of cinema’s most striking visuals, and an unforgettable moment in the history of motion pictures, making it fitting that we show it off to you here today.

What Do We Get With The 'Back to the Future – 40th Anniversary’ Set?

To mark the milestone, Universal is rolling out The Back to the Future – 40th Anniversary 4K Trilogy Steelbook Gift Set, an Amazon exclusive shipping in October 2025 for $149.99. Inside:

• 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and digital for all three films
• A clock-inspired Steelbook design nodding to the DeLorean’s time readout
• A replica Gibson guitar, a numbered certificate, and a lenticular photo
• Prop-style memorabilia, including a “Jaws 12” poster and a “Biff Dollar”

If you want the movies without the extras, each film is also getting its own 4K UHD Steelbook (with Blu-ray and digital) for $29.99–$34.99, also arriving in October.

• Gift Set: Ships October 2025 (Amazon exclusive)
• Individual 4K Steelbooks: October 2025

Starring Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd, the trilogy racked up $964 million worldwide, an Oscar win for Best Sound Effects Editing on the first film, and a Best Visual Effects nomination for Part II. And while reboots are the norm, writer Bob Gale has been clear: the films are “just fine the way it is,” and Steven Spielberg isn’t looking to remake them either. So this anniversary release — and our deep dive into the clock tower — are about celebrating what’s already there, not reinventing it.

Keep an eye on Collider for more first-look clips and packaging photos as we get closer to release. Roads? Where we’re going, you’ll want shelf space.
