The movie playing at the Starcourt Mall theater where Steve, Robin, Dustin, and Erica hide from Soviet agents is <Back to the Future>. Steve and Robin, intoxicated by the truth serum, watch the film and ramble incoherently: "So the main character falls in love with his mom?" This film is the pinnacle of 1985 pop culture and serves as the most powerful timestamp to cement the drama's time setting for audiences.
