Someone sent back from the future to the past by murderous robots intent on total domination to kill someone to make sure a future event happens but by going back in time they make that event happen. Yep, its a paradox but its been done before.
Try Doctor Who - Day Of The Daleks.
That's basically the exact plot of that episode made in 1975. Why hasn't Terrance Dicks sued James Cameron & Gale Ann Hurd as well? They stole his idea - BBC America may have been airing Dr Who and Cameron thought it was a good idea and stole it.
Have a soldier trying to protect the woman who will be the mother of the man who leads the rebels against the robots but he ends up becoming the father of the man who sends him back in time to perform this mission. The Dr Who version is some terrorists try to assassinate a man who they think has started a war which lets the Daleks invade Earth dead easy. Another idea stolen from someone else. The film is the classic nightmare of being chased by someone trying to kill you but you don't know why. Elements of Frankenstein, the monster built and never rests and is almost impossible to stop in its mission.
The movie was the cutting edge in special effects technology when it was made with Stan Winston's creature workshop providing the manpower for all those great sfx make-up & robot effects that make Arnie look so amazing.
It might look a little old and slightly jaded around the edges but with its suitably tense backing music in all the right places its still a very watchable & enjoyable movie.
Derailing the plot:-
Why did no-one try a rocket launcher or a few grenades, or even a high power taser or anything to deliver an electric shock. Once the robot has taken a shot of EMF his CPU would be screwed. End of film. People never see the easy solution, do they?
