Arnold Schwarzenegger is a great actor (mainly in action movies) and this film proves it. James Francis Cameron knows how to make this film suspenseful and action packed (though the action sequences when the terminator looks like the robot seems remeniscent from Jason and the Argonauts).

The story is about a man who is sent back from 2029 (when the world is now taken over by robots) to 1984 to protect a woman from another being called the terminator who is programed to killed her. That story sounds basic (if your Einstein) but it is the action sequences and the actors who pull this through. Linda Hamilton plays the frightened Sarah Conner who is the target, Michael Biehn plays the soldier who must save her, and Arnold plays the terminator, who is to terminate them. And I thought nothing has come close for a while (maybe the sequel). Favorite part: Arnold looks for Sarah Conner around L.A. and finds 3 others that have the same name. A+
