Running time: 105 minutes

Language: English

Human-looking cyborg, Terminator, of great power and almost immune to any weapons is sent from year 2029 to 1984. His mission is to find a waitress named Sarah Connor and he won’t hesitate to kill anyone who will get in his way. Due to his appearance people don’t realize how dangerous he is until it’s too late for them. He has to find Sarah Connor and kill her since her future son, John, will become main figure in human resistance against domination of machines. The police is helpless against Terminator, so the only hope for Sarah Connor is Kyle Reese, soldier sent from the future to protect her.

Classic science fiction movie that started the series with completely new approach to the scifi as a genre - how our lives can affect the future and not only tomorrow or next week, but in centuries. Plus Arnold Schwarzenegger as silent and deadly Terminator and some great action sequences.
