Po zničení Infiltrátora maskujícího se za zaměstnankyni Cyberdyne Corp. se Sarah Connorová opět ocitne v nemocnici, těžce zraněná na těle i na duši. Zatímco se pod přísným dohledem tajných vládních organizací zotavuje, její syn John, budoucí vojenský vůdce lidstva v boji proti vražedným strojům, se spolu s bývalým protiteroristickým agentem Rossbachem připravují na temné časy: budují kryty, shromažďují prostředky a zásoby a získávají přívržence. Zničený Inflitrátor však bohužel nebyl jediný a nepřátelé, proti kterým Connorovi stojí, nejsou pouze z řad strojů. Naštěstí se jim podaří získat i spojence, například v poněkud výstřední milionářce nebo bysté mladé studentce MIT, která si myslí, že ví, jak zabránit Skynetu v sebeuvědomění. Rozhodující okamžik se nezadržitelně blíží… Druhá část trilogie T2, která začíná tam, kde končí dvojice filmů Jamese Camerona a Williama Wishera Terminátor a Terminátor 2: Den zúčtování.
