The Terminator VHS 1985 - VGA 70 EX+, Clamshell, Vertical Overlap Seal, "Play For Keeps" Sticker, Thorn EMI Video. In James Cameron's 1984 sci-fi classic "The Terminator," a relentless cyborg assassin from the future is sent back in time to kill Sarah Connor, a young woman destined to give birth to the leader of the human resistance. As Sarah is targeted for termination, she becomes the key to humanity's survival and must rely on a mysterious and rugged protector from the future. This groundbreaking film not only introduced audiences to the iconic characters of the Terminator and Sarah Connor, but also revolutionized the action genre by blending sci-fi elements with intense, high-stakes storytelling, launching a franchise that would leave an indelible impact on 1980s action movies, with its dark and gritty atmosphere, intense action sequences, and themes of humanity's struggle against machines and technology.

This factory sealed 1985 first release VHS copy of The Terminator has received an overall grade of 70 EX+ by VGA, with a Box subgrade of 70 and a Seal grade of 70. The biggest conditional issue with this copy is a vertical slice on the front of the case.
