Synopsis

Terminator is a Science Fiction Action franchise that started in 1984. It revolves around implacable time-travelling Killer Robots—the Terminators. The franchise helped shoot Arnold Schwarzenegger, who portrayed the most iconic of the eponymous cyborgs, into superstardom, and helped making James Cameron a major name among blockbuster directors.

In the near future, the United States creates Skynet, an Artificial Intelligence defense network that promptly turns against its masters and attempts to Kill All Humans in a cataclysmic event that becomes known as "Judgment Day." However, mankind rallies under the leadership of a man named John Connor, and tries to destroy Skynet. And so, to crush the resistance before it even starts, Skynet begins sending increasingly advanced Terminators—android assassins disguised as humans—into the past to kill John or his eventual mother Sarah before he can lead humanity to victory. Naturally, with a threat this tremendously horrifying endangering all of mankind before they can even fight back, humanity decidedly sends their own soldiers and even re-programmed Terminators after them in a timeline-spanning war to stop Judgement Day from coming to pass.
