In the future, Skynet, a computer system, fights a losing war against the humans who created it.
Just before being destroyed, Skynet sends a Terminator back in time to kill Sarah, the mother to be of John Connor, the Leader of the human resistance.
The Terminator can pass for human, is nearly indestructible, and has only one mission, killing Sarah Connor.
One soldier is sent back to protect her from the killing machine. He must find Sarah before the Terminator can carry out it's mission.....
What's left to say about the film that hasn't been said. It defined two marvellous careers, created maybe the best catchphrase ever committed to celluloid, and all this thanks to a dream that Cameron had (James, not David).
Its a simple premise, executed brilliantly and imitated many times since. Any direct to video release featuring the word Robot or Cyborg for the following fifteen years after 1984, either homaged or ripped off the movie.
Schwarzenegger is perfect, it's his greatest role, and although T2 is the better movie, Arnold as the villain makes it more urgent than its sequel. You believe he's unstoppable, and although you've seen the movie dozens of times, that scene where the Terminator finally spots Connor in the Tech-Noir, it still chills.
Yes,mothers are many plot holes and flaws, but for heavens sake, its a movie about a Cyborg being sent back in time to kill the mother of an unborn boy, and its wonderful.
It also proves again the theory that 1984 was the best year ever for movies.
