Made on a low budget The Terminator was one of the most influential films of the 1980s. Combining explosive special effects and an intricate time-travel plot it set Arnold Schwarzenegger on the road to superstardom and allowed its director James Cameron to go on to make some of the most expensive films of all time. The Terminator quickly found a cult following who appreciated its deadpan humour comic-book violence and elaborate variations on standard science fiction themes. Resolutely populist accomplished and instantly memorable The Terminator has dramatically outlived its humble beginnings. Sean French s insightful study traces the film s production history its sources and the extent of its influence. He argues that The Terminator s visual flair stylised acting and choreographed violence are so compelling not so much because they offer intellectual rewards but because they traffic in the darker more visceral pleasures of moviegoing. In his foreword to this new edition Sean French reflects on Terminator sequels and reboots suggesting that the original film has more in common with the gritty visions of the New Hollywood than present-day action blockbusters.
