This is a legend of a film, but surely any film with Arnie in has got to be special! In my opinion, the first is the, like a lot of films, because it is gripping and fresh, but the others are good too. Below is a rough outline of the plot:
A futuristic assassin called "The Terminator" is sent back through time to 1984 to kill the seemingly innocent Sarah Connor-a woman whose unborn son will lead the human race to victory in a bitter future war with a race of machines.

This is a fantastic film, and if you have never seen it, you need to! This DVD is a really good version of the film, great value for money & I would highly recommend it! (But not for young kids!)

A classic, and Arnie's best acting until he took the role of governator.
