"Doc Brown Saves the World" is an American English-language short film from 2015, so probably the most recent official addition to the Back to the Future universe. Director Zemeckis and his co-writer Bob Gale reunited for this little one-man show that starts Christopher Lloyd near the age of 80 already once more in his career-defining role. This time he goes on quite a quest as it is on him to travel back in time and avoid a nuclear catastrophe, so there are some kind of real life references included in here. However, we only see Doc before and after his mission of course in a white sterile lab. I think you need to be a great BttF fan really to appreciate this one and everybody who isn't can skip it I guess. It's not on a level that will get you really curious about the trilogy, but those who love it can give it a go. I give it a thumbs-down overall though.
