Who played Sarah Connor , the Terminator 's main target , in the movie " Terminator " ?
While interacting with the Connors as they work to try to prevent Judgement Day , this Terminator is taught how to speak in slang - like terms like "" Hasta La Vista "" , developing into an almost fatherlike role for John Connor , with Sarah reflecting that the Terminator is the first male figure John has ever had in his life who can be guaranteed to always be there for him .
