WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

In 2029, during the ongoing war between man and machine, human resistance leader John Connor (Clarke) uncovers the machines’ plan to send a “Terminator” T-800 (Schwarzenegger) back in time to kill his mother Sarah Connor (Emilia Clarke) before he is born, thus changing the war in their favour. His lieutenant Kyle Reese (Courtney) volunteers to go back and stop the deadly cyborg – only to find that not only has Sarah teamed up with an aged T-800 model, but that they have a plan to stop the war from ever happening…
