In the year 2029, artificially intelligent machines have taken over the world, and in a last-ditch effort to change the course of history, they send a cyborg assassin, known as the Terminator, back in time to 1984 to kill Sarah Connor, the mother of the future resistance leader. However, a human soldier, Kyle Reese, is also sent back to protect Sarah and stop the Terminator. A thrilling race against time ensues as Sarah, Kyle, and the Terminator clash in a battle for survival and the fate of humanity.
