Biography: Arnold Schwarzenegger

Living the American dream may be difficult for someone born in Austria, but if there's anyone who typifies the rags-to-riches phenomenon it's Arnold Schwarzenegger. Undeterred by rudimentary acting skills and a name that caused a few stutters when first heard, Schwarzenegger followed an impressive bodybuilding career with a stint as an actor that saw him become one of the most famous faces in the world. Huge sums of money piled up in Arnie's bank account as he took on roles in films such as THE TERMINATOR, PREDATOR, and TOTAL RECALL, and his lack of natural talent as an actor was covered up by a string of easily quotable catchphrases which littered his professional work. From there his career took ever more astonishing turns, with a run for governor in California, with this remarkable documentary offering a thorough examination of the man they call The Governator.
