| The sleeper box office hit celebrates its 25th Anniversary this year and, along with Conan the Barbarian two years earlier, firmly established a former “Mr. Universe” and multi-awarded bodybuilding champ and present California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger the cinema’s premiere action hero. In order to prevent a chain of events, a cyborg from the future is sent to the present to kill an innocent woman. Imaginative storytelling (inspired by the works of writer Harlan Ellison), non-stop action and direction established future superstar director James Cameron and put him on the ”A list.” - Jay Duncan NOTE: At the end of 2008, it was announced that The Terminator would be one of 25 films added by the Library of Congress into the National Film Registry for the year. It was deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". With this addition, the total number of films in the registry is now 500. | ||
