DVD Easter Eggs
James Cameron's
THE TERMINATOR is one of the
tightest, tensest sci-fi films ever
made and a landmark in the genre. In
the year 2029, battles rage between
the superintelligent machines that
rule the world and the last vestiges
of humanity. In late-20th-century
Los Angeles, Sarah Connor (Linda
Hamilton) suddenly finds herself
stalked by an unstoppable killing
machine--a Terminator (Arnold
Schwarzenegger) sent from the future
to kill her and her unconceived son,
John Connor, the future leader of
the human resistance. Sarah can rely
only on Reese (Michael Biehn), a
soldier sent from the future to
protect her from the seemingly
indestructible Terminator and save
humanity. This low-budget
masterpiece was the breakthrough
film for director Cameron, who weds
special effects, thrills, and
understated romance to create one of
the finest action films of the
1980s, which spawned many imitations
but few equals. Science fiction
author Harlan Ellison sued over the
film’s similarities to his own
works, especially the OUTER LIMITS
episode "Demon with a Glass
Hand," and won acknowledgement
in the film’s credits.
Schwarzenegger will forever be known
as the relentless Terminator, a
heartless killing machine who
returns (in a kinder, gentler form)
in 1991’s TERMINATOR 2: JUDGMENT
DAY.
