  </tr>
  <tr>

You need to close out your PHP tag with ?> before the html code.

<?php
$movie = array();
?>
<h1>Back to the Future (1985) </h1>
<table>
  <tr>
    <th>Director</th>
    <td>Robert Zemeckis</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <th>IMDB Rating</th>
    <td>8.5</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <th>IMDB Ranking</th>
    <td>53</td>
  </tr>
</table>
