What's The Story

In 2018, after the world has been all but destroyed by a nuclear holocaust, the human resistance faces off against Skynet, a networked artificial intelligence bent on destroying what remains of humanity. Predestined resistance leader John Connor is having a hard time rising through the ranks, as his deep knowledge of Skynet makes other resistance members suspicious. Joining up with a mysterious stranger named Marcus Wright, Connor must venture deep into enemy territory in order to claim his destiny.

Three Good Reasons

  • 1Christian Bale, one of Hollywood's heaviest hitters both in action and drama, brings some serious star power to the role of the legendary John Connor.
  • 2Sam Worthington (Marcus Wright) is new to the silver screen, but received a firm endorsement from fellow Aussie Russell Crowe. "You won't be sorry if you cast this guy," wrote Crowe in an email.
  • 3Last but not least, you owe it to the cast and crew after what they suffered during filming! Worthington badly hurt his back, Bale broke his hand, and an unfortunate effects tech partially severed his leg.

Bet You Didn't Know

"Skynet" also happens to be the name of a real-life UK satellite system used for military communication. As of this writing, this system has not yet attained self-awareness. More about Terminator Salvation on Yahoo! Movies
