He is noted for his action/science fiction films, which are often highly innovative and financially successful. Thematically, James Cameron's films generally explore the relationship between humanity and technology.[1] Cameron created The Terminator franchise, serving as co-writer and director for The Terminator and Terminator 2: Judgment Day.
