A couple of tourists to Mexico in 1955 are actually time travelers escaping an evil society from the future. But the government police have come back to return to them to their duties. It's like how I feel when I get paged from work on the weekend. Good story by Ray Bradbury.
(from "The Critical X Minus One" by Jim Fanisher)

Broadcast in 1955 and contains the line 'back to the future'

[@newbleppmore7855]

Maybe because the directors and writers listen to this

I remember reading this story a long time ago in an anthology.

About that trippy blastoff music in the intro, rising chromatically to a crescendo: I'm guessing X Minus One was its first use. Later it was used in the Beatles' "A Day in the Life" and in "2001, A Space Odyssey."
