Arnold Schwarzenegger
VIDEO CLIP:
RealMedia: Arnold Schwarzenegger


Terminator

This sci fi thriller, starring muscle-man Arnold Schwarzenegger as a cyborg, was directed by James Cameron who later found even more fame as director of Titanic. This futuristic thriller has been endlessly imitated.

Los Angeles has been reduced to rubble in 2029 and is run by machines. A cyborg is thrust back in time programmed to terminate Sarah Connor, the mother of a man who will lead the human resistance against the machines in 2029.

A member of the human resistance is also sent back to 1984 to rescue Sarah Connor from being assassinated before she can give birth.
