The film screenplay for 'The Terminator' was written by director James Cameron, although Cameron admitted that his inspiration for The Terminator were two episodes from the 1960s television science fiction series [/i]: The Outer Limits: Soldier (#2.1) and The Outer Limits: Demon with a Glass Hand (#2.5).
Don't know if the information on IMDB is correct.
I'll do ya one bettah: Harlan Ellison wrote both. He approached, and settled out of court with, the production company for 'use' of those stories. Curiously, nothing of this incident is mentioned his Wiki page. But is here:
