A 1991 American science fiction action film directed by James Cameron, who co-wrote the screenplay with William Wisher. It stars Arnold Schwarzenegger, Linda Hamilton, and Robert Patrick. It is a sequel to The Terminator (1984) and the second installment in the Terminator franchise. In the film, the evil artificial intelligence Skynet sends a T-1000 Terminator, an advanced killing machine, back in time to 1995 to kill future human resistance leader John Connor when he is a child. The Resistance sends back a less advanced, reprogrammed T-800 Terminator to protect Connor and ensure the future of humanity. The Terminator franchise revolves around humanity's war against machines and time travel. The main characters of this franchise are people: Sarah Connor, John Connor and Kyle Reese, as well as robot terminators (mainly the T-800 terminator played by Arnold Schwarzenegger). The center of events is the battle for survival between the almost extinct humanity and artificial intelligence, which is Skynet. Skynet is positioned as the US computer system "Global Digital Defense Network", developed by Cyberdyne Systems, which becomes independent and uncontrollable. Soon after activation, Skynet perceives all people as a threat to its security and decides to destroy all of humanity.
