Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines

The machines will rise.

2003109 min6.2 / 10

A high-octane action thriller about humanity's fight against sentient machines, driven by relentless pursuit and explosive set pieces rather than emotional depth.

It's been 10 years since John Connor saved Earth from Judgment Day, and he's now living under the radar, steering clear of using anything Skynet can trace. That is, until he encounters T-X, a robotic assassin ordered to finish what T-1000 started. Good thing Connor's former nemesis, the Terminator, is back to aid the now-adult Connor … just like he promised.
