Directed by: James Cameron
Starring: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Michael
Biehn, and Linda Hamilton
In 2029, mankind and machines engage
in endless battle. Mankind has been on
the losing side of this battle for years, and the machines are trying to finish
them off. The only thing in their way is
the resistance movement led by a man named John Connor. They send a Terminator (Arnold
Schwarzenegger) back to Los Angeles in 1984 to find and kill Sarah Connor
(Linda Hamilton), the mother of John.
Meanwhile, the resistance sends Kyle Reese (Michael Biehn) back in time
to protect Sarah and the unborn leader of the resistance from this heartless
and relentless machine. The Terminator is definitely one of the
most successful and influential independent films of all time. You’ve got a badass robot, a great storyline,
and a new direction for sci-fi and action flicks. This is the movie that accelerated the
careers of James Cameron and Arnold Schwarzenegger. It’s a movie that is years ahead of its time
and is something that every movie aficionado must see at some point in life.
