Terminator 2: Judgement DayThere may be debate over which movie is the worst of the Terminator franchise, but there is far more consensus as to which film is the best of the series. On or around this date 25 years ago Terminator 2: Judgement Day opened in theaters. Set roughly one decade after The Terminator, in the sequel not one but two Terminators will be sent back in time.

Arnold Schwarzenegger reprises his role as the futuristic killing machine, this time sent back to protect the future leader of the resistance John Connor (Edward Furlong) and his mother Sarah (Linda Hamilton) from Skynet‘s liquid-metal T-1000 (Robert Patrick) capable of altering its form.

After rescuing his mother from a mental institution, John, Sarah, and the Terminator attempt to stay one-step ahead of the advanced killing machine on their heels and make a desperate attempt to change the future by targeting one of Skynet’s key creators (Joe Morton).

The Freemaker Adventures - Peril on Kashyyyk
