Michael J. Fox in rare reunion with Back to the Future cast

  • Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, and Lea Thompson appear in a new video by Gibson appealing to the public to help find the Cherry Red Gibson ES-345 guitar used in Back to the Future.
  • The guitar has been missing since the production of the 1989 sequel, and Gibson is producing a documentary, Lost to the Future, to chronicle the search as the movie commemorates its 40th anniversary.
  • The video includes a surprise appearance by Huey Lewis, whose band performed the soundtrack's headliner song, “The Power of Love”.
  • In the film, Marty McFly (played by Michael J. Fox) plays the guitar at a 1955 school dance, performing "Johnny B. Goode" and showcasing riffs inspired by guitarists like Jimi Hendrix, Pete Townshend, and Eddie Van Halen.
  • Fox jokes the missing guitar could be lost in the space-time continuum.
