The Terminator (1984) & Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991): Man vs. Machine

In this episode of Journey Through Sci-Fi, James and Matt continue their Artificial Intelligence series with two of the most iconic sci-fi action films ever made: The Terminator (1984) and Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991).

Together these films introduced the terrifying concept of Skynet, a military artificial intelligence that becomes self-aware and launches a war against humanity.

From cyborg assassins travelling through time to the looming threat of Judgment Day, we explore how James Cameron's Terminator films transformed the portrayal of artificial intelligence in science fiction.

Journey Through Sci-Fi explores the history of science-fiction cinema one subgenre at a time.
