Summer Blockbuster Staff Picks: Terminator 2 – Judgment Day (1991)
It's nothing personal.
James Cameron
Young John Connor (Edward Furlong), the key to civilization's victory over a future robot uprising, is the target of the shape-shifting T-1000 (Robert Patrick), a Terminator sent from the future to kill him. Another Terminator, the revamped T-800 (Arnold Schwarzenegger), has been sent back to protect the boy. As John and his mother (Linda Hamilton) go on the run with the T-800, the boy forms an unexpected bond with the robot. Selected by projectionist Nick Ferlisi as part of our Blockbusters Through the Decades Staff Picks Weekend.
