the Year 2029 hey welcome to

I’m your host Derek Allen and today
we’ll be taking a look at the roots of
the Terminator franchise created by
Cyberdyne systems Skynet was built as a
revolutionary computer-based defense
system in the late 20th century Skynet
defense system we’re in however soon
after its creation the supercomputer
became self-aware and put in place a
mission to exterminate humans first
launching a nuclear attack Skynet was
capable of destroying much of the human
population a program of genocide was
then put in place to exterminate the
remaining humans a survivor of the
nuclear attack John Connor assembled Tet
calm better known simply as the
resistance as a movement to prevent
Skynet’s planned eradication of
humankind after failing to kill Connor
in battle and seeing their cause on the
verge of defeat in the year 2029 as a
last resort Skynet sent a cyborg
assassin called a terminator back in
time to 1984 that Terminator is out
there
it can’t be bargained with it can’t be
reasoned with
it doesn’t feel pity or remorse or fear
and it absolutely will not stop ever
until you are dead The Terminator was
under the orders to kill John Connors
mother Sarah Connor before he was even
born
ultimately defeating the resistance
before it could even be assembled
resembling and sounding like a human The
Terminator was so well engineered it
could even sweat and bleed making it
indistinguishable from other humans
despite its human characteristics the
Terminator was nearly indestructible
especially to 20th century weapons a
network of hydraulic servo mechanisms
controlled its endoskeleton making the
Terminator superhumanly strong after
learning of the terminators mission John
Connor and the resistance sent their own
soldier Kyle Reese back in time in order
to protect Sarah Connor and ultimately
the resistance finding her first Reese
Warren Connor
the terminators plan as well as the
importance of her and her unborn son to
the future of humanity there was one man
taught us to fight he put us back in the
break his name is Connor John Connor
your son’s falling for each other Reese
and Connor would spend a night together
in a motel and it is soon after
discovered that it is here where John
Connor was conceived in battle fire
would strip away the terminators human
appearance leaving only as powerful
endoskeleton in an attempt to destroy
the cyborg Reese Acra physis himself by
blowing a pipe bomb in the abdomen of
the cyborg however still functioning it
is ultimately Sarah Connor who defeats
the Terminator by crushing it in a
hydraulic press considered a low-budget
film the original Terminator was filmed
for only 6.5 million dollars
however was a major box-office hit
bringing in close to 80 million dollars
worldwide
