Terminator 2: Judgment Day is an exemplary sequel that takes the thrilling concept of the original film and elevates it. This James Cameron film follows the story of Linda Hamilton's Sarrah Connor and her son, John (Edward Furlong), as they are pursued by an advanced and merciless terminator: the T-1000, played by Robert Patrick. With the help of a reprogrammed T-800 (Arnold Schwarzenegger), they fight to avert Judgment Day.
