The Terminator

A cybernetic killing machine-relentless, ruthless, unemotional and programmed to eliminate humans.

From Warner Bros./Discovery comes the MGM classic, cyborg-killer movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger as the the T-800 cyborg with a deadly mission: to kill Sarah Conner, the future mother of John Connor who would lead the rebellion against the Terminators and shut down the world-wide threat of the sentient Skynet computer system.

Director James Cameron gained a name for himself with The Terminator movie and it catapulted Arnold to super-star status.

Both Arnold and Cameron redefined what a science fiction/horror film was all about.

The movie went on to spawn five sequels, a TV series, animated features, video games and an entire merchandising empire.

While many of the visual special effects are a little dated by today’s standards the movie still stands up today with its frantic pace, strong characters, well-developed script, stellar direction and acting and haunting soundtrack.

Who can forget Arnold’s icy stare as The Terminator, his massive presence and menacing power? Linda Hamilton as Sarah Conner starts out as a typical weak and helpless female and evolves into one of the Silver Screen’s most powerful female characters and the climatic screen between Sarah and The Terminator still sends chills running up my spin.

Relive a classic with the 4K Ultra HD/Digital Code The Terminator Collection that also includes special extras such as several featurettes and deleted scenes.

1 Corinthians 16:13 - Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.
