Summary of Terminator 2: Judgment Day

A decade after Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) destroyed the original Terminator, a second unstoppable killing machine (Arnold Schwarzenegger) arrives from the post-apocalyptic year 2029. But this time his mission is to stop an even deadlier Terminator, the T-1000 (Robert Patrick), made entirely of shape-shifting liquid metal and determined to kill young John Connor (Edward Furlong), the future leader of the human resistance. Sarah, John, and the Terminator counter by going after the scientist responsible for developing Skynet, the computer system fated to destroy humanity, leading to an explosive and spectacular clash with the fate of humanity in the balance. Whereas James Cameron's original THE TERMINATOR was a low-budget marvel of efficiency and speed, TERMINATOR 2: JUDGMENT DAY is an action-packed blockbuster with some of the most amazing stunts ever filmed and ground-breaking, Academy Award-winning special effects. Star Schwarzenegger was paid in the form of a $15 million dollar jet to revisit his most famous role as the Terminator, this time made kinder and gentler against the silent, relentless T-1000. One of the most popular films of the 1990s, James Cameron's action masterpiece is both a thoughtful look at violence in human nature and an exciting, nonstop thrill ride.

Critics Reviews

Variety
As with "Aliens," director James Cameron has again taken a first rate science fiction film and crafted a sequel that's in some ways more impressive - expanding on the original rather than merely remaking it.
The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
A great movie... A pop epiphany, marking that commercially creative point where the power of Hollywood meets the purity of myth.

Users Reviews

One of the best sci fi action flicks of the 90's
Great action and special effects. An excellent movie about our greatest fears at the time: nuclear war and A.I.
An action-lovers must!
Action-packed, filled with special effects, one Schwarzenegger saving the world - this is a recipe for an action film that you would not want to miss. The sequel is even better than the first one, and there aren't too many films you can say that...
