What is Harlan Ellisons connection to the Terminator movies?
SF author Harlan Ellison filed a lawsuit against director JC, claiming that Cameron plagiarized some of his stories, namely the 1957 short story and 1964 The Outer Limits script “Soldier,” and the 1964 The Outer Limits script “Demon with a Glass Hand” (and, possibly, the 1969 post-apocalyptic short story “A Boy and His Dog”). The concept of Skynet could also have been borrowed from another post-apocalyptic Ellison short story from 1967 called “I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream”. Newer prints of T1 acknowledge Ellison. For more on Ellison’s influence, see section 6.4.
