The Pohatchee Drive-In was an American Indian themed drive-in movie theater located about 20 miles outside of Hill Valley in 1955. The terrain was mostly desert and mesa. It was chosen by Emmett Brown as the location to send Marty McFly back to 1885 as there were no trees in either time at that location and because it was far enough away from Hill Valley that there would be minimal risk of the DeLorean time machine being seen. A bear cave, however, existed in both times not far from the site of the theater.

  • The Pohatchee Drive-In was an American Indian themed drive-in movie theater located about 20 miles outside of Hill Valley in 1955. The terrain was mostly desert and mesa. It was chosen by Emmett Brown as the location to send Marty McFly back to 1885 as there were no trees in either time at that location and because it was far enough away from Hill Valley that there would be minimal risk of the DeLorean time machine being seen. A bear cave, however, existed in both times not far from the site of the theater. Following the 1950s, drive-in movies were gradually in decline, largely due to land becoming too valuable for summer-only businesses like drive-ins. Even in a temperate region like California, where drive-ins could operate year-round, their decline was also attributed to improved conditions in traditional movie houses and the rise of television. The drive-in is not seen or mentioned in 1985, and it may have closed down by that year. In the altered timeline, the fire trails left by the DeLorean may have done some damage to the theater screen. It was named for the Pohatchee tribe of Indians that inhabited the area in the 19th century. The men's restroom, where Marty changed into his novelty cowboy costume, bore a hanging sign reading BRAVES, while the unseen women's restroom was presumably indicated by one which read SQUAWS.
