Synopsis: Co-scripted and directed by Canadian-born filmmaker James Cameron (Aliens, The Abyss), The Terminator is a sci-fi action film that is set in 1984, but features a cyborg assassin from the future (2029), known as "The Terminator" (Schwarzenegger), who's mission is to kill Sarah Connor (Hamilton). Kyle Reese (Biehn) is part of the human race sent back to protect Connor, who's future son, John Connor, will become the leader of the resistance against the deadly computer-controlled machines. The $6.5 million film earned $78.3 million at the worldwide box office, a fraction of the $519.8 million made by its 1991 blockbuster sequel T2: Judgement Day, which reunited Cameron, Schwarzenegger and Hamilton. The series continued with Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003) and the current Terminator Salvation (2009). In 2008 the United States National Film Registry selected The Terminator for preservation in the Library of Congress, deemed as "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant."
