From tiny Thal, Austria to Hollywood, Arnold Schwarzenegger's bodybuilding fame opens doors--but his accent threatens to shut them. Rejected by Hollywood brass, he finds a champion in John Milius for Conan the Barbarian.
After Conan, Arnold fights to star in James Cameron's low-budget sci-fi thriller The Terminator. But creative clashes, union pushback, and L.A.'s gritty streets threaten the film at every turn.
After playing a god, barbarian, and a killer robot, Arnold finally plays a regular guy—well, a wisecracking commando rescuing his daughter. Can his funniest, talkiest role yet turn Commando into box office gold?
After Commando hits big, Arnold and Joel Silver reunite for Predator. But brutal jungle conditions, an alien suit nightmare, and a rival production threaten to derail the sci-fi action film.
After proving he can deliver humour and action, Arnold teams up again with writer Steven E. de Souza for The Running Man.
Arnold overcomes doubts about his accent, becomes an action star, embraces comedy with Twins, and bets big on True Lies.
