James Cameron's THE TERMINATOR is one of the tightest, tensest sci-fi films ever made and a landmark in the genre. In the year 2029, battles rage between the superintelligent...
more...machines that rule the world and the last vestiges of humanity. In late-20th-century Los Angeles, Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) suddenly finds herself stalked by an unstoppable killing machine--a Terminator (Arnold Schwarzenegger) sent from the future to kill her and her unconceived son, John Connor, the future leader of the human resistance. Sarah can rely only on Reese (Michael Biehn), a soldier sent from the future to protect her from the seemingly indestructible Terminator and save humanity. This low-budget masterpiece was the breakthrough film for director Cameron, who weds special effects, thrills, and understated romance to create one of the finest action films of the 1980s, which spawned many imitations but few equals. Science fiction author Harlan Ellison sued over the film's similarities to his own works, especially the OUTER LIMITS episode "Demon with a Glass Hand," and won acknowledgement in the film's credits. Schwarzenegger will forever be known as the relentless Terminator, a heartless killing machine who returns (in a kinder, gentler form) in 1991's TERMINATOR 2: JUDGMENT DAY.

One of my all time fave films i love this film, iv watched it sooo many times. definately the best one out of the trilogy, when it came out i was glued to the screen, loads of action,,and depp down us guys want so much to be arny particularly as terminator, acting not the best iv seen but hey if he was a brill actor maybe this film wouldnt have been made. Loads od great one liners. which can still be heard today asta lavist, il be back.absolutely cool film. I also loved the other 2 terminator films but this was defo the best one. Arny is a brill baddy but he is also quite a good doddy in the other terminators.well done arny. Even though this film is getting old now its still timeless the concept of the robot going to the future is still a new concept now.
