Wikipedia Notes;

** The TERMINATOR 1984 science fiction Movie #1, was directed by James Cameron.

** The TERMINATOR stars Arnold Schwarzenegger as the Terminator, a cybernetic assassin sent back in time from 2029 to 1984 to kill Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton), whose unborn son will one day save mankind from extinction by Skynet, a hostile artificial intelligence in a post-apocalyptic future.

** Kyle Reese (Michael Biehn) is a soldier sent back in time to protect Sarah.

The screenplay is credited to Cameron and producer Gale Anne Hurd, while co-writer William Wisher Jr. received an additional dialogue credit.

** The Terminator topped the United States box office for two weeks, eventually grossing $78.3 million against a modest $6.4 million budget.

** It is credited with launching Cameron's film career and solidifying Schwarzenegger's status as a leading man.

** The film's success led to a franchise consisting of several sequels, a television series, comic books, novels and video games.

** In 2008, The Terminator was selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the United States National Film Registry.

---

** By 2010, the TERMINATOR franchise had generated THREE BILLION DOLLARS in revenue.

The film franchise is considered to be of the cyberpunk subgenre of science fiction.

** Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991), Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003), Terminator Salvation (2009), Terminator Genisys (2015), and Terminator: Dark Fate (2019), though none replicated the successes of The Terminator or Terminator 2.
