From the future comes an assasin terminator T-1000 (Robert Patrick) to kill John Conner who will be the leader of the humans when he grows up. The battle between two terminators ensues as a reprogrammed Terminator (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is sent back by the humans to protect the boy. This is James Cameron's own big budget sequel to his hit movie Terminator. T-2 boasts some remarkable CGI special effects which is an extension of the technique Cameron employed in The Abyss.
