A relentless, visually spectacular action thriller that pairs sustained kinetic intensity with genuine emotional stakes about humanity, sacrifice, and the fight against an inhuman threat.
Ten years after the events of the original, a reprogrammed T-800 is sent back in time to protect young John Connor from the shape-shifting T-1000. Together with his mother Sarah, he fights to stop Skynet from triggering a nuclear apocalypse.
