 The Terminator is a 1984 science fiction/action film directed and co-written by James Cameron. It features Arnold Schwarzenegger, Linda Hamilton and Michael Biehn.
The film takes place in 1984, introducing the concept of a "terminator", specifically the titular character (Arnold Schwarzenegger), a seemingly unstoppable cyborg assassin who has been sent back from the year 2029 by a race of artificially intelligent computer-controlled machines bent on the extermination of the human race. The Terminator's mission is to kill Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) whose future son leads a resistance against the machines. A human, Kyle Reese (Michael Biehn), is also sent back from the future to protect her
Additional featuresn 2029, machines control the world and are bent on the extermination of humans. To this end, the machines send back someone from the future to May 12, 1984. This mysterious musclebound man (Arnold Schwarzenegger) obtains weapons and begins hunting down anyone listed as "Sarah Connor" in the phone book, successfully killing two of the three listed. When he attempts to kill the last Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton), he is stopped by another time traveler, Kyle Reese (Michael Biehn), sent back to protect her. While hiding in a parking garage, Reese explains to Sarah that the man after her is actually a Terminator, a cyborg assassin. These Terminators were invented by Skynet, a form of artificial intelligence created by Cyberdyne Systems. In the near future Skynet gains self-awareness, takes over all military hardware, and initiates a nuclear war against humanity. John Connor, Sarah's son, leads a human resistance against the machines. In a last-ditch effort, Skynet sent a Terminator back in time to kill Sarah before John is born, preventing the resistance from ever being founded, allowing the machines to win by default. John sends Reese back in time to protect her.

The Terminator feels no pain, has no emotions and will stop at nothing to accomplish its mission. Time travel can only send living tissue back, preventing Reese from bringing any advanced weaponry, and 20th century small arms are not enough to destroy the Terminator's hard metal endoskeleton. With its disguise of real living tissue over metal, it is indistinguishable from normal humans, so no one will believe Reese's story.
After Kyle finishes his story, he and Sarah are attacked by the Terminator again, resulting in a chase that leads to their arrest. At the West Highland Police Station, Sarah is looked after by Lieutenant Ed Traxler (Paul Winfield) and Detective Hal Vukovich (Lance Henriksen) while Reese is questioned by a criminal psychologist, Dr. Silberman (Earl Boen). He concludes that Reese's story is a delusion, constructed in such a way that it requires no evidence, preventing anyone from refuting it.
The Terminator arrives at the police station and asks to see Sarah, but the desk attendant denies it access. After examining the room and uttering the catch phrase "I'll be back", it leaves, then returns seconds later by plowing a car through the front of the building. The Terminator goes on a rampage through the building, killing anyone it sees, including 17 police officers[1]. Reese manages to escape and rescue Sarah. They hide out in a motel, where Reese teaches Sarah to make pipe bombs from household supplies. Sarah asks Reese if she measures up to the stories about her and if he's ever been in love. After replying no to both questions, he confesses that he is in love--with her. At first, Reese thinks he has made a fool of himself, but Sarah feels the same way, and they make love.
Later that night, the Terminator tracks them down and shoots Reese, wounding him. Sarah manages to knock the Terminator off its motorcycle. A tanker truck then runs over the Terminator. The robot, injured, commandeers the tanker truck and drives it at them. Reese uses one of their last bombs to blow up the truck, seeing the Terminator collapse in a burnt heap.
They think that it has been destroyed, but the bare metal endoskeleton is still functional and pursues them into a factory. In the ensuing chase, Reese jams a pipe bomb into the Terminator's abdomen, blowing its legs off, but also killing himself. The Terminator, still partially functional, drags itself by its hands to pursue Sarah, until she finally crushes it in a hydraulic press, destroying it.
The end of the film shows Sarah pregnant, and traveling in Mexico on November 10, 1984. She records audio tapes which she intends to play for her son, John, at some point in his life. She reveals that John is Reese's son, conceived during their one night at the motel six months before (see Predestination paradox).[2] While Sarah's gas tank is being filled, a young Mexican boy takes a picture of her, the same picture John will give to Reese in the future. Then Sarah pulls out of the gas station and drives into the distance where storms are approaching over the mountains. The end credits start to roll as her Jeep disappears.

I think this is one of the best sci-fi movie I have seen. Special effect are shockingly real. Well, all the actors does an excellent job moving from a vulnerable young woman to a real tough cookie as the film progresses. Michael Biehn is equally good as Kyle, but Schwartzenegger is almost overpowering in his portrayal. This is some of his best work. I really liked the movie.
