George Orwell's most famous work is the novel 1984. Years later, on 1984, Terminator (1984) was released. Starring Arnold Schwarzenegger in the title role, it was a highly arthouse film dedicated to deconstructing the dying steel industry and the effects of rapidly developing technology on impoverished service workers.
