The Terminator is a 1984 American science fiction film directed by James Cameron, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger as a nearly indestructible cyborg assassin sent back in time from a future war between humans and machines to kill a woman whose unborn son will one day lead the human resistance. Made on a modest budget, the film built its reputation on tense, efficient pursuit sequences and an unusually bleak vision of artificial intelligence turning against its creators. Its success launched a long running film franchise and helped establish Cameron as a major action and science fiction director.
