The computer in 2001: A Space Odyssey turns against its human creators and users to take control of the space station at the heart of the first half of the movie.

There have been a few products over the years that have called themselves hoverboards, but the closest one to the film is one Tony Hawk rode back in 2015, which was, coincidentally, the year that Marty travels to in the future.
