The movie that made Arnold a sci-fi star!!!

Rating: 10/10 (23 August 2017)

If Conan made Arnold a worldwide sword and sandal superstar, then The Terminator made him a sci-fi god. The directorial debut of James Cameron, this 1984 classic set the stage for countless sequels, a prequel TV series, and lots of merchandise. Arnold shows his prowess as the Terminator, a man sent from the future to kill Sarah Connor, played by Linda Hamilton (who reprises her role in the sequel). Kyle Reese, played by Michael Beihn, is also sent from the future, this time to prevent her and her future son. The 2001 MGM DVD is highly recommended as it contains a 5.1 remix of the original mono track along with the mono track plus lots of special features.
