Two warriors – one human, the other a robot – travel back from a wartorn future LA to find a woman fated to give birth to a messianic freedom fighter.
Not a Hollywood remake of La Jetée, but sharing a number of the same chronological conceits as two warriors - one human, the other a robot - travel back from a wartorn future LA in order, respectively, to destroy or save a woman fated to give birth to an influential and messianic freedom fighter. Cameron keeps the action tough, the dialogue pleasingly laconic, and the pacing fast in a film far leaner and meaner than his later work.
