Terminator Movie Edit | All Nuclear War Scenes

All of the nuclear war scenes from the Terminator movie franchise edited into a short film. The music is Thursday Afternoon by Brian Eno (cut and slowed). Nuclear war scenes are taken from The Terminator (1984), Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991), Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003), and Terminator Genisys (2015).

In the near future, US missile defence systems and drone aircraft are automated. At some point, the automated system launches nuclear missiles at targets in Russia. Russia responds in kind and a full nuclear exchange ensues.

The Terminator is a 1984 American science fiction action film directed by James Cameron. The screenplay is credited to both Cameron and producer Gale Anne Hurd. Cameron devised the premise of the film from a fever dream he experienced during the release of his first film, Piranha II: The Spawning (1982), in Rome. The Terminator stars Arnold Schwarzenegger as a cyborg assassin sent back in time to kill Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton), thereby preventing her son from leading mankind to victory in a war against Skynet, a hostile artificial intelligence in a post-apocalyptic future devastated by nuclear war. Kyle Reese (Michael Biehn) is a soldier sent back in time by human resistance forces in order to protect Sarah.

Defying low pre-release expectations, The Terminator topped the United States box office for two weeks, eventually grossing $78.3 million against a modest $6.4 million movie budget. The film is credited with launching Cameron's movie career and solidifying Schwarzenegger's status as a leading man. In 2008, The Terminator was selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the United States National Film Registry as "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".

Terminator 2: Judgment Day was also directed by James Cameron, who co-wrote the script with William Wisher. Starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Linda Hamilton, Robert Patrick, and Edward Furlong, it is the sequel to The Terminator and is the second instalment in the Terminator franchise. The malevolent artificial intelligence Skynet once again sends a Terminator, a more advanced model than the first one, back in time to kill the future leader of the human resistance, John Connor, when he is still a child. And, once again, human resistance forces manage to send back a protector, a reprogrammed older-model Terminator to protect Connor and ensure the future victory of humanity over AI.

Terminator 2 was considered a significant success, enhancing Schwarzenegger's and Cameron's careers. The advanced visual effects, which include the first use of a computer-generated main character in a blockbuster film, resulted in a schedule overrun. On its release, Terminator 2 earned $520 million, making it the third highest-grossing film of all time. Critics praised the visual effects, action sequences and cast, choosing Patrick's performance as the T-1000 as a great cinematic villain, while criticism was directed towards the film's violent content: Terminator 2 has been described as 'the most violent anti-war film ever made.' The film won several accolades, including Saturn, BAFTA, and Academy awards. Terminator 2 was a tie-in promotion with Pepsi and, at times, the film takes on the distinct appearance of a sleek Pepsi commercial.

Terminator 2 is widely regarded as one of the best films ever made, and one of the best science-fiction, action, and sequel films, as well as equal to or better than The Terminator. It is also seen as one of the most influential visual effects films of all time, beginning the transition from practical effects to reliance on computer-generated imagery. Although Cameron intended for Terminator 2 to be the end of the franchise, it was, unfortunately, followed by a series of films that failed to replicate the success of the first two, including Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003), Terminator Salvation (2009), Terminator Genisys (2015), and Terminator: Dark Fate (2019), as well as a 2008 television series.
