If you're wondering about the term "before present", the present is defined as 1950 for geological purposes. I'm afraid it's probably too late to correct it to 1985.

It was set because of nuclear testing. Thankfully we made it through the 80s without nuclear war.

you're right. they probably were thinking of Back to the Future, which was, in some ways, a far better film than Unix.
