The Terminator

The Terminator is a 1984 American science fiction action film directed by James Cameron, who co-wrote it with producer Gale Anne Hurd. It stars Arnold Schwarzenegger as the titular character, a cybernetic assassin sent back in time from the post-apocalyptic 2029 to 1984 to assassinate Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton), whose future son will one day save the world from Skynet, a hostile artificial intelligence. Soldier Kyle Reese (Michael Biehn) additionally travels back in time to protect Sarah. Cameron devised the premise of the film from a fever dream he experienced during the release of his first film, Piranha II: The Spawning (1982), and developed the concept in collaboration with his friend William Wisher Jr..
