While the entire premise of the Terminatorfranchise rests on the threat of the artificial superintelligence system Skynet, it’s amazing just how little this antagonist network is mentioned in James Cameron’s original movie. Skynet is the human-created technology that gained consciousness and, after humanity tried to disable it, fought back with a nuclear attack that became known as Judgment Day. With John Connor as the leader of a resistance movement, the original Terminator saw Skynet send the T-800 back in time to try and prevent him from being born.
