Synopsis

Arnold Schwarzenegger returns as a time-traveling T-101 Terminator in this smash hit directed by Jonathan Mostow. He's back to protect youthful Earth Resistance leader John Connor (Nick Stahl) and an unsuspecting veterinarian (Claire Danes) who's stunned to learn her destiny is linked with Connor. But protecting the two is easier said than done. An awesome new foe is programmed to terminate them -- a state-of-the-art T-X (Kristanna Loken) who's smarter and stronger than a T-101. With dazzling effects and a story that boldly spins into the unexpected, this is an event spectacle to see and see again.
