The Terminator
ActionAdventureSci-FiThriller108 min
In 1984, Sarah Connor is targeted by a cyborg assassin sent back from a machine-dominated future, where her unborn son will one day lead the human resistance. Linda Hamilton is Sarah, a woman pulled without warning into a war that hasn’t happened yet, as a lone soldier from 2029 races to keep her alive. Arnold Schwarzenegger is the Terminator, a near-indestructible hunter whose pursuit drives James Cameron’s story through time-travel paradoxes, gunfire, car chases, and a cold tech-noir vision of the coming war between humans and machines.
