Judgment Day

In a post-apocalyptic future, humanity is on the brink of extinction, fighting a losing war against the sentient AI Skynet. To prevent humanity's survival, Skynet sends a highly advanced liquid metal Terminator, the T-1000, back in time to assassinate young John Connor, the future leader of the human resistance. However, the human resistance also sends a reprogrammed T-800 Terminator back to protect John. This sets the stage for a relentless battle across time, as John, his mother Sarah Connor, and the T-800 race against the T-1000 to prevent the Judgment Day catastrophe.
