Since you are including works of fiction, I think Terminator (1984) is worth mentioning. This is what most people think of when it comes to AI risk.
By the way, my personal favorite, when it comes to AI doing what it wasn’t intended to, would have to be Eagle Eye (2008) . It’s got everything: hard take-off and wireheading of sorts, second-guessing humans, decent acting.
SPOILER ALERT don’t read if you are yet to see Eagle Eye.
I doubt that the Terminator introduced any new important ideas. Its notability is like that of David Chalmers’ recent paper, in bringing old ideas to the attention of the broader public.
Eagle Eye was spoofing its own sensors at some point. Again, not a novel idea per se, but pretty great for a movie. In the beginning of the movie, IIRC there was some Bayesian updating going on based on different sources of evidence.

Which new important ideas were contributed by Terminator or Eagle Eye that were not previously contributed?

Yeah, so, those works aren’t included because they didn’t introduce any new important ideas I can think of.
