Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991), co-written, co-produced and directed by James Cameron, is a sequel to the movie the Terminator (1984). It narrates the story of Sara Connor (Linda Hamilton) who takes up a mission of saving the world from a Nuclear Holocaust, for which she has to protect her son John Connor (Edward Furlong), who is supposed to become the leader of human resistance during 2029 AD when the disaster is destined to happen. The plot evolves around a concept that Skynet, a computer system, will take over control of the world and exterminate nearly 3 billion humans. Skynet knows that John Connor will eventually emerge as the savior of human kind, and in order to obviate this possibility they send T1000, a robot made of liquid metal, which can take any form it wants. John Connor, on the other hand, reprograms the original Terminator (Arnold Schwarzenegger) and sends him back from the future to protect the young John. What follows is a series of thrilling encounters involving both cyborgs, the boy and his mother. However, Sara Connor who is the only human protagonist in the movie is the central character and the one who is most motivated and she determines the direction the story takes. By portraying Sara as a strong and determined female the movie postulates that feminine gender has transformed from the weak and fragile secondary element to a powerful leading figure that takes up a responsibility of saving the entire human race. As opposed to traditional movie concepts where female characters exist to serve the purpose of their masculine counterparts, Terminator 2 takes an abrupt departure from the established norms by making a female as the most important character in the movie. The story revolves around her life and it is she who takes up the challenge of facing all the adversities in her bid to save the world. From her first appearance in the movie at the hospital scene, where she is seen doing pull-ups, Sarah’s masculinity rather than femininity becomes pronounced. By casting Linda Hamilton, whose physical features are impressively strong, James Cameron reinforces the masculine slant of Sarah’s character. Her attempt to escape from the hospital projects her, again, as a character that is more masculine but ensconced within the frame of a woman. The way she smashes the guard with a broom, and breaks the doctor’s arm etc underlines the elements of primal savagery and brutality that are part of the male human nature rather than female. Throughout other episodes in the movie, especially during her encounter with Dyson, the viewers see this quality resurface in her. Traditional female movie characters usually have remained confined in roles where they took care of the family, and the quest for broader objectives remained left to males. In this movie, however, it is the female character that takes up the responsibility and vows to save the world from disaster and fights for the human cause. A critical analysis of her some of Sarah’s characteristic traits, as under, will prove that this character is more masculine than feminine:   * Physical characteristics: From the pull ups scene in the mental hospital, one can see that she is so focused on her physical strength. She is with a muscular body and she atte
