Back to the Sequels

It has been quite some time since I wrote a fake movie sequel synopsis, so here it is:
Back to the Future IV
The movie will take place in current day Hill Valley. It begins with Marty(Jason Bateman, Teen Wolf 2, anyone?) and Jennifer(Elisabeth Shue) at home, with their young children, Marty Jr.(Nathan Gamble) and Marlene(Elle Fanning), neither is older than 9. We are still 8 years away from when younger Marty and Jennifer appear in the future, which, I'm not sure will even happen anymore. Wow. Ummm, paradox, did they change the past enough that it won't happen? According to the other Back to the Futures I'd say no. We'll stick with that. So, given the Back to the Future timeline, everything else is perfect and going as it should be or is it. Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd) knocks on the door, yet to have the thumb print upgrade. He is waiting with his wife Clara (Katey Sagal), and their children, Jules (that kid who plays drums in "School of Rock") and Verne (one of the twins who played the little kid in Big Daddy, the other quit acting....or so I am claiming.). Keep in mind that Doc Brown was last in the 1880's, and has his time traveling train parked out in the street, making for an odd sight.

Turns out, something they did in the 1880's tweaked the future just right, through cause and effect, which is never explained, that causes George McFly(Crispin Glover) and Biff Tannen(Tom Wilson) to be murdered while Marty and Jennifer are away at college in the spring of 1988. Doc obviously does not know this, as he has been living in the 1880's with his family. He came to the future just to catch up with Marty. When Marty tells him of what happened, and that his Mother later committed suicide without George, Doc can't handle it. Marty, in a reversal of roles, tries to tell Doc that they should not alter the past. Doc insists, and they head for the train, leaving the rest of their families behind.

They then travel back to the spring of 1988, one week before their murder. They were murdered by a man holding them up at gunpoint while George was on a book signing tour, with Biff as his bodyguard. Over the next week it is a trial of errors while Marty and Doc do everything in their power to stop the events to transpire....will they succeed?

Since it is 1988, I think that they should be killed by rogue KGB agents who are upset that the book speaks disparagingly of the Soviet bloc. The agents know that the Soviet Union is collapsing, but they want to defend its prior honor.

To stop them, Doc and Marty will need to come up with various odd gadgets to out-tech the well-armed agents.
