Lightstorm Entertainment, Inc.[1] is an American independent film and television production company founded by filmmaker James Cameron[2][3] and producer Lawrence Kasanoff in 1990. The company's films include the sci-fi film Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991), the action-comedy film True Lies (1994), the romantic-drama film Titanic (1997), the Avatar film series, and the sci-fi film Alita: Battle Angel (2019); Cameron has employed other filmmakers to produce and direct films under the Lightstorm banner. Based in Santa Monica, California, the company established a first look deal with 20th Century Fox (currently known as 20th Century Studios) in 1995,[4] who has since distributed a majority of the company's films.[5][6]

In 1993, Cameron would meet his future Titanic and Avatar co-producer Jon Landau during the production of True Lies, and would persuade Landau to join the company.[7]

The company's logo depicts a bowman using a lightning bolt as an arrow.
