The Terminator screens in 35mm Sunday, May 31, 7:00 PM at the Music Box Theatre. Presented by Metal Movie Night.

The Terminator T-800 endoskeleton first appeared in James Cameron’s fever dream while he was in Rome. Broke, sick and under extreme stress, Jim Cameron had a nightmare about a metallic skeleton rising from fire. “The original inspiration for the film was the image of the terminator coming out of the fire. A humanoid robot who, up to that point, you’ve thought was a man, emerges from this conflagration completely denuded of flesh. “I had this image of him being covered in flesh and having it burn off, and coming phoenix like out of fire.” Immediately after waking up, Cameron sketched the terminator character on a sheet of paper.

In 2029, the war between man and machine has desolated the Earth, leaving humanity all but wiped out. Pockets of survivors remain, either living as slaves serving their technological overlords, or as resistance fighters attempting to overthrow the sentient defense network that controls the machines.

From this wasteland, two soldiers are sent back in time to Los Angeles, 1984, in order to influence the outcome of a conflict that hasn’t taken place yet. One is an unstoppable cyborg assassin, the other a human guerrilla fighter. Serving on opposite sides of the battle, they share the same target: Sarah Connor, an unsuspecting young woman whose unborn child will become the key to saving mankind
