Plot
20 years after the events of Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Hannah (Jessica DiCicco), a soldier-assassin human-cyborg hybrid, goes back to 2015 before the Judgment Day begins to protect John Connor (Garrett Hedlund), the son of Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) and Kyle Reese (Michael Biehn).

In Los Angeles, California, the T-2000 (Patrick Wilson) is transported in front of Goodwill as he walks to the night club and tells a thug to give him his clothes. Attempted to kill T-2000, he regenerates and kills two thugs after throwing him to the kitchen, causing people to run out of the club. He gives the T-2000 his keys and clothes. Outside the club, he uses the sunglasses and a Lamborghini.

In San Francisco, John Connor lives in a new house with his new aunt and new uncle named Lois Stone (Jenny Slate) and Jorge Cruz (Paul Scheer). His old friend, Danny Dyson (Michael Jai White), son of Miles Dyson (Joe Morton), agrees to help him destroy Skynet after midnight.

In midnight, a T-800 (Arnold Schwarzenegger) finds the body of Kyle Reese in the cemetery and takes it to the warehouse. He brings Kyle back to life by lightning. Kyle wakes up and sees T-800. He tries to shoot him, but he tells him to remain calm.
