Terminator Zero
Created by Mattson Tomlin
On Netflix
A high-octane, visually striking anime action series built on relentless pursuit and apocalyptic dread, where survival and the fate of AI dominate over character intimacy.
A warrior from a post-apocalyptic future travels to 1997 to protect an AI scientist being hunted by an unfeeling — and indestructible — cyborg.
