In 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.
