About this film
What it's about
In the post-apocalyptic future, reigning tyrannical supercomputers teleport a cyborg assassin known as the "Terminator" back to 1984 to kill Sarah Connor, whose unborn son is destined to lead insurgents against 21st century mechanical hegemony. Meanwhile, the human-resistance movement dispatches a lone warrior to safeguard Sarah. Can he stop the virtually indestructible killing machine?
Action Pick
A relentless returning classic that still hits like a freight train
This is a returning classic from 1984, and it remains a lean action thriller with almost no wasted motion as an unstoppable cyborg assassin hunts Sarah Connor. James Cameron stages pure momentum and dread, with Arnold Schwarzenegger as the killing machine and Michael Biehn as the lone warrior sent to stop it. It sits at 90% on Rotten Tomatoes and 8.1 on IMDb, and it plays in English in Vienna where the chase belongs on a big screen.
