The first Terminator movie to hit theaters came out in 1984. The most recent aired 35 years later, in 2019. The sci-fi series, with its central narrative device of time travel, has been tied together over the course of every film. In the most recent addition, 2019’s Terminator: Dark Fate, however, the producers worked to retroactively change the timeline of the films following Terminator 2. This is because the film’s original director, James Cameron, left the project following the second film and only made his return in its latest entry.
If you’re a hardcore fan, or someone looking to experience Skynet for the first time then here is a list of all the Terminator films you’ll want to dive into.
