Article description: (description ) This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | The Terminator is an implacable killer with a Sci-Fi justification and an oft-imitated part of the pop-cultural pantheon. Arnold Schwarzenegger portrayed the titular cyborg for three (and a half) films, and his performance in the first film shot him into superstardom. Writer/director James Cameron was inspired to create the film after a dream he had when sick with a fever which involved a mechanical skeleton emerging from a wall of fire and chasing after him. Cameron, recalling how terrified he was, ended up crafting the story of The Terminator based around that one moment. Along the way, Cameron unintentionally (or so he says) plagiarized Harlan Ellison's The Outer Limits story "Soldier" (but not, as commonly believed, "Demon with a Glass Hand" -- source) for the plot; Ellison later found out and managed to get a cash settlement and an official acknowledgment in the credits. Ellison later said the trouble could have been avoided if Cameron had come to him first and offered a screen credit in the movie (which he would have offered for free). |
