James Cameron had a dream, which led him to write the screenplay for The Terminator. Cameron initially wanted Lance Henriksen to play the role of the Terminator, but the iconic T-800 was eventually played by Arnold Schwarzenegger. Linda Hamilton played the lead role of Sarah Connor, and has since returned (along with Arnold) for the latest film, Terminator: Dark Fate. In the video above, Dave Klein goes into detail about how the first film in the Terminator franchise came to be, and the sequels and prequels that followed.
The Terminator (1984) lead to five more movies in the series - Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991), Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003), Terminator Salvation (2009), Terminator Genisys (2015), and Terminator: Dark Fate (2019).
