The Terminator
James Cameron directs the 1984 American science-fiction film starring Arnold Schwarzenegger as the titular character. The Terminator, a cyborg assassin, is sent from the future to kill Sarah Connor, played by Linda Hamilton. The reason is because her son is prophesied to become a savior in a battle against machines, which is to be set in a post-apocalyptic future.
“The Terminator” solidified Schwarzenegger’s status as an action star and advanced Cameron’s directing career as well. It has spawned several sequels, especially the critically acclaimed “Terminator 2: Judgment Day” from 1991.

Oliver Stone presents a thrilling case for circumstances behind President John F.

Face/Off
The 1997 American action film from Hong Kong film director John Woo stars John Travolta as a FBI agent and Nicolas Cage as a terrorist. The two are sworn enemies, who end up assuming each other’s physical appearance.
Woo was given greater creative control for his third Hollywood film. The result is an unforgettable action tale where Cage and Travolta’s magnetic performances are perfectly balanced by Woo’s stylized, over-the-top violence.
