In this second installment of the "Terminator" sequence, a cyborg named T-1000 arrives in Los Angeles on a mission to kill ten-year-old John Connor while he is still a child. T-1000 is sent by Skynet, the artificial intelligence society whose intention is to obliterate the human race through nuclear war. John's mother, Sarah Connor, has prepared him for battle against Skynet ever since he was chosen to be the leader of the human army, Resistance. Because T-1000 is much more advanced than the original Terminator, the Connors are not able to win this war alone. Ironically, it takes the first Terminator that tried to kill Sarah ten years ago to come to their rescue. Together, John, Sarah and The Terminator clash against T-1000 in an effort to put a permanent end to Skynet.
