Terminator 2: Judgement Day

“Come with me if you want to live.”

It’s been more than 10 years since Sarah Connor narrowly escaped with her life from the T-800. Since being informed by a soldier from the future that she is raising the inevitable savior of the computer-controlled apocalypse world, Sarah has devoted her life to bodybuilding and teaching her son how to be full-time awesome. But when you’re the only person who knows the future, the rest of the world will think you're crazy. So while Sarah spends some time in the looney bin, her son, John, has been relegated to a life of foster care and teen rebellion..until one day a new and improved Terminator, the T-1000, is sent back in time to find and destroy the boy who will be humanity's only hope for survival. But not if the reprogrammed, old-school AHNULD bot, T-800, has anything to say about it!

Applying some of the same finesse that he put to good use in the ALIEN franchise, James Cameron grabbed the reins of his TERMINATOR sequel and created a grander, sweeping epic of a movie with faster action, glossier visuals, and more thrilling special-effects. Inside the casing of this battling robotic beast beats the heart of a real human being, which is why TERMINATOR 2 forever changed the face of action filmmaking and gave a whole generation of grown men a reason to cry.
