James Cameron and Arnold Schwarzenegger became film legends following the major success of this clever and riveting Sci-Fi in which a Terminator (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is sent back in time from the year 2029 to 1984 by a ruling computer program called Skynet to assassinate the mother of a man who is leading the surviving humans in a battle against the machines. The computer effects may look poor compared with what's around today but the movie is so good you just don't care (it did come out in 1984)! Spawned an equally great sequel and will forever remain a Sci-Fi classic.
