The Terminator

Writer and director James Cameron made his entrance into cinema history with this clever and original science-fiction action thriller. A soldier and a cyborg from the future are sent into the past to protect and to kill the woman who will become the mother of the resistance leader, in order to change the future. Cameron and co-writer Gale Anne Hurd delivered a film that worked on several levels and set a new standard for the genre. While the effects and the film feel dated, the story works with its bold ideas and strong characters. Arnold Schwarzenegger stars with his best performance along with Linda Hamilton and Michael Biehn who got their breakthrough with this classic film. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
