Essentially where it all started for one of the most successful directors of all time. The Terminator was an absolute smash hit and confirmed legend status for both James Cameron and also the star, Arnold Schwarzenegger. Nothing like this had been seen before and this movie is still as good a watch today as it was in 1984 when it was released.
A cat and mouse action thriller, The Terminator pits an unstoppable machine against mere mortals and the results are catastrophic. The Terminator will not stop until it succeeds in its mission no matter who gets in the way.
The template for many action movies moving forward and groundbreaking in its use of special effects.
