The long-running Terminator franchise started with James Cameron’s 1984 The Terminator, which featured Arnold Schwarzenegger as a cyborg assassin tasked to go back to the past to kill Linda Hamilton’s Sarah Connor due to her future part in the salvation of mankind. The original was then followed by Terminator 2: Judgment Day, which was the most popular installment due to its box office and critical success.
