A cybernetic assassin is sent from 2029 to Los Angeles in 1984 to kill Sarah Connor before she can give birth to the future leader of the human resistance. Human soldier Kyle Reese travels back through time to protect her.

ASFR Content

The Terminator is a Skynet infiltration machine consisting of living human tissue over a metal endoskeleton. Much of the film presents it as a convincing human assassin before accumulating damage exposes its artificial eye, arm mechanisms and eventually the complete endoskeleton. The climax continues after the organic covering is burned away, ending only when the exposed machine is crushed in an industrial press.
