Story
Ten years after preventing Judgment Day, John Connor lives off the grid to avoid detection by Skynet. He encounters a new, advanced Terminator called T-X sent from the future to kill him. Meanwhile, another older model Terminator, CSM-101, is also sent back in time to protect Connor. The T-X begins assimilating other machines and humans into its structure, while Skynet starts infiltrating military computer systems via a virus. Connor allies with his future wife Kate Brewster, whose father is a U.S. Air Force General targeted by the T-X. As Skynet gains control of nuclear missiles, humanity faces imminent destruction. The CSM-101 Terminator must eliminate the T-X to prevent Skynet's rise and save humanity from its dystopian future.
