Cameron and Hurd pack as much visceral imagery as they can into each line: explosions of splinters, flung milk, blurring walls, punching bullets. The second aspect that stands out is just how detailed this sequence is. But if you know you’re going to be directing (as Cameron did), it’s okay to break this rule – this is for you, after all. When writing a screenplay, it’s best to avoid any mention of the camera or types of camera movements. That’s because this is a shooting script. The first thing you might notice about this scene on the page is that there are specific camera directions. Sarah drives through Mexico, leaving a voice recording for her son (with whom she’s now pregnant). The robot finally kills Reese, and Sarah, in turn, finally kills the robot. Reese and Sarah battle the now-skinned Terminator in a factory. During a high speed chase, Reese is shot and in critical condition. The Terminator shows up at their doorstep, and they’re back on the run once more. Sarah inadvertently gives their address to the Terminator, who impersonates her mother over the phone. Terminator, Sarah and Reese set up shop at a motel. Reese finally explains to Sarah that the fate of the human race depends on her survival: she will end up mothering the leader of the human resistance in a future war with robots. He drags her along with him through the streets of Los Angeles, giving only vague explanations of what’s going on. Kyle Reese, the other time-traveler, saves Sarah from certain death at the hands of the Terminator. Sarah calls the apartment, and the Terminator hears her voicemail, which reveals where she’s hiding. The Terminator arrives at Sarah’s apartment and kills her best friend, thinking she’s Sarah. Sarah sees on TV that women also named Sarah Connor are being killed. Connor is down-on-her-luck and seemingly an unlikely target.

Both are extreme bad boys, and both are hunting a waitress named Sarah Connor. Two time-traveling entities have shown up in 1984 Los Angeles. Here is the story structure for The Terminator 1984 script: Exposition STORY BREAKDOWN TERMINATOR 1 PLOT SUMMARY
