				Angeles to kill a woman named Sarah Connor. A soldier, Reece, 
				from the future is also sent back to protect Sarah, as she is 
				destined to give birth to the leader of the human resistance. Dad's Preview: 
				This is the futuristic juggernaut that started the Terminator 
				franchise. It is ground-breaking and intense, a staple of 
				Cameron's direction. In the future 
				machines become sentient. In the battle to wipe out humans, the 
				machines calculate they cannot win. Their solution is to send a robot, called a Terminator, 
				back in time to exterminate Sarah Connor, the mother of 
				the man who will lead humanity to victory. The human resistance 
				learns of the plot and also sends a time traveler - a man, Reese, charged with keeping Sarah safe 
				by stopping the Terminator at all costs. Is your mind blown yet?
