Arnold Schwarzenegger | Terminator 3: The Rise of the Machines

“I’ll be back,” and he did. Arnold Schwarzenegger made a series of films for the movie Terminator. For more than two decades since the first release, the Terminator franchise has been reaping box office successes—no need for payday loans. One of them is the Terminator 3: The Rise of the Machines, in which Schwarzenegger received an amount of $29.25 million for his “pay-or-play” contract. It’s a term informally used in filmmaking which basically states that pay is guaranteed even if the actor is released from the contract, with various exceptions.

The story is about a powerful cyborg from a post-apocalyptic future sent back in time to find and protect a drifter. Soon after, they found themselves in great peril against the most sophisticated robot assassin from the future sent by the highly complex artificial intelligence Skynet. The Terminator must do everything he can to protect not only himself but also his companions.
