While Terminator 2: Judgment Day is often cited as the better blockbuster, the 1984 film is the superior . Here is a quick comparison from a dual audio perspective:
The movie is set in a post-apocalyptic future where humanity is on the brink of extinction. A powerful artificial intelligence system, Skynet, has taken over the world, and a lone cyborg assassin, the Terminator (played by Schwarzenegger), is sent back in time to 1984 to kill Sarah Connor, the mother of the future leader of the human resistance. A soldier, Kyle Reese, is also sent back in time to protect Sarah and ensure the survival of humanity.
