Movie lovers will get a chance to experience a cult classic firsthand in London this summer. A local theater and events company will create an immersive movie screening of Back to the Future in July and August.

Future Cinema stages "live cinema experiences," building entire sets in order to bring two-dimensional films to life. The company's previous productions include Ghostbusters, Who Framed Roger Rabbit? and The Grand Budapest Hotel and more than 40 others.

Future Cinema's Secret Cinema project adds an element of mystery to the immersive experience. The next event will involve recreating Hill Valley, California -- the setting of the 1985 film -- at a secret location in London. Performances will run from July 24 to Aug. 10, 2014.

In addition to recreating Hill Valley, where Marty McFly began his adventure, the company will create a replica of the DeLorean DMC-12 that will be used to transport audience members between decades by passing through secret alleys.

Audience members can also attend a screening after-party, which will be modeled after the Enchantment Under the Sea prom dance from Back to the Future.

"We shall play heavily on the innocent dream-like world of 1955 and the nostalgic pre-mobile phone world of 1985," Secret Cinema founder Fabien Riggall told the London Evening Standard. "We want the audiences to forget their current world and take an adventure."

Back to the Future co-screenwriter Bob Gale told The Standard the experience would go above and beyond what happens in the film.

Tickets go on sale Wednesday.
