Main Summary
The film takes place July 24, 2004. The main character, John Connor, is currently living off the grid so he can't be tracked by Terminators. During the early morning of the day, 2 Terminators from the future arrive in time portals with different objectives. A T-X arrives first being sent by Skynet to eliminate the lieutenants of the human resistance. A reprogrammed T-800 is sent to protect John Connor and Kate Brewster, his future wife. Meanwhile, a new computer virus has started to spread throughout the military network. The US Air Force, led by Kate's father, believes that activating Skynet could stop the spread of this virus. What they don't know is that Skynet became self aware but Kate and John arrive too late to stop Skynet. Kate's father would ultimately die while the T-800 takes out the T-X. Kate and John are led to a VIP fallout shelter that they believed had the Skynet core. This day would be known as "Judgment Day". This is also when John knew that Judgment Day had always been inevitable.
