In the future, Skynet, a computer system fights a losing war against the humans who built it and who it nearly exterminated. Just before being destroyed, Skynet sends a Terminator back in time to kill Sarah, the mother to be of John Connor, the Leader of the human resistance. The terminator can pass for human, is nearly indestructible, and has only one mission, killing Sarah Connor. One soldier is sent back to protect her from the killing machine. He must find Sarah before the Terminator can carry out it's mission.

O.J. Simpson was considered for the role of the Terminator, but the producers feared he was "too nice" to be taken seriously as a cold-blooded killer.

Kyle Reese:
The 600 series had rubber skin. We spotted them easy, but these are new. They look human... sweat, bad breath, everything. Very hard to spot. I had to wait till he moved on you before I could zero on him.


Sarah Connor:
Look... I am not stupid, you know. They cannot make things like that yet.


Kyle Reese:
Not yet. Not for about 40 years.


Sarah Connor:
Are you saying it's from the future?


Kyle Reese:
One possible future. From your point of view... I don't know tech stuff.


Sarah Connor:
Then you're saying you're from the future, too. Is that right?


Kyle Reese:
Right.


Sarah Connor:
Right.

Continuity: The number 14239 appears above the entrance of the Alamo Gun Shop and above the front door of the first Sarah Connor. The address 14239 also does not match any of the addresses for Sarah Connor shown in the telephone directory.
