Part III

The third instalment of the series sees Marty McFly stranded in 1955, but he has received a 70 year old letter from Doc Brown.  In the letter Dr Emmett L. Brown explains that he is trapped in 1885 as the technology required to repair the DeLorean would not be invented until 1947.  The letter tells Marty where the DeLorean is, but gives him explicit instructions to not attempt a rescue.  Instead, he is told to immediately return to 1985 and destroy the time machine in order to prevent further disruption of the space-time continuum.  

With the help of Doc's 1955 counterpart, Marty uncovers the DeLorean from a mine.  Nearby they discover a tombstone that reveals that Doc died just six days after writing Marty the letter, having been murdered by Marty's adversary Biff Tannen's great-grandfather Buford "Mad Dog" Tannen over a matter of $80.  With the De Lorean restored to working order through the use of 1955 components, Marty and the 1955 Doc agree that Marty will go back to 1885 and bring the 1985 Doc back to his own time.  Before leaving, Marty takes a photo of the tombstone.

After arriving in 1885 and surviving brushes with Indians, the cavalry and a bear, Marty finds refuge for the night with his great-great-grandparents, Seamus and Maggie McFly, who are immigrants newly arrived from Ireland.  When asked his name, Marty uses the alias "Clint Eastwood" to hide who he really is. 

Can Marty change history and get Back to the Future?  And why would a car need to run on rails?
