20 years after the events of Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Marion Connor-Brewster (Olivia Olson), 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 two new best friends named Lois Stone (Patti Harrison) and Jorge Cruz (Paul Scheer). His old friend, Danny Dyson (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II), son of Miles Dyson (Joe Morton), agrees to help him destroy Skynet after midnight.
In midnight, a T-800 (Arnold Schwarzenegger) now lives with Sarah Connor after he destroyed another T-1000 by melting it down with a flamethrower back in 1999. Meanwhile, John meets his trusted soldier Kyle Reese who turned out to be his father as a ghost. He discusses with him about the upcoming future of the resistance war.
While John works, he discovers that T-2000 is ready to kill him but Marion stops him from trying to kill him.
