The future is not set, but on this special day, it’s time to relive the past. Forty years since James Cameron released cinematic classic The Terminator, British film fans can now experience the thrill and terror on the big screen once again. To mark the 40th anniversary of the first film’s initial release, Showcase Cinemas in the UK is hosting a special double bill of the stunning 4K restorations of Terminator and Terminator 2: Judgement Day.
The epic films from the action franchise starring Arnold Schwarzenegger as The Terminator alongside Linda Hamilton as Sarah Connor are both returning for one day only on August 29 in a special double header.
Jon Dixon, UK marketing director at Showcase Cinemas said, “We are thrilled to bring back The Terminator and Terminator 2: Judgment Day to our cinemas nationwide for this special 40th anniversary event.
“These films are not just loved in the world of cinema; they’ve been a part of our cultural DNA. By offering fans the chance to see both films back-to-back on the big screen, we’re celebrating the legacy of these ground-breaking blockbusters and giving a new generation the opportunity to experience these movies as they were meant to be seen.”
Released in 1984, The Terminator quickly became a cult classic, blending relentless action with science fiction and introducing the world to Arnold Schwarzenegger’s landmark portrayal of the unstoppable cyborg assassin.
Its sequel, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, released in 1991, solidified the franchise’s place in cinematic history, becoming one of the most influential action films of all time.
