The Terminator/Predator/Commando

Synopsis : Triple bill featuring three action movies starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. In 'The Terminator' (1984), a humanoid cyborg from a future dominated by machines (Schwarzenegger) is sent back in time to kill the mother (Linda Hamilton) of the as-yet-unborn rebel leader John Connor. Meanwhile, the rebels also select an agent (Michael Biehn) to travel back in time and stop the Terminator, thereby ensuring that events follow their pre-ordained course. In 'Predator' (1987, Major Alan 'Dutch' Schaefer (Schwarzenegger) and a band of mercenaries head into the Central American jungle to rescue some Americans from guerillas. However, there is an additional evil force at work in the jungle, something not human. The mercenaries are picked off one by one and soon Schaefer must face the alien predator alone. In 'Commando' (1985), John Matrix (Schwarzenegger), a retired Secret Service colonel, is on the trail of right-wing renegades and a Central American dictator, whom he had once helped to depose. The renegades have kidnapped his eleven-year-old daughter and Matrix is not going to rest until he has her back. This action spectacular was much admired on its initial release due its introduction of humour into a formula which had been played straight up until that point.

Extra features : Interactive menus, Enhanced for WideScreen TV.
