Synopsis: Imagine a world of permanent darkness, where machines control man's destiny. Imagine you are the only one who can stop it. But before you do, something terrible has to happen. - John... Imagine a world of permanent darkness, where machines control man's destiny. Imagine you are the only one who can stop it. But before you do, something terrible has to happen. - John Connor A decade has passed since John Connor (NICK STAHL) helped prevent Judgment Day - the day Skynet's highly developed network of machines was fated to become self-aware and destroy mankind. But August 29, 1997 came and went without incident, despite Skynet's twice failed attempts to kill Connor and wage war on humanity. Now 22, Connor lives "off the grid" - no home, no credit cards, no phone and no job. No record of his existence. No way he can be traced by Skynet. Until… …out of the shadows of the future steps the T-X (KRISTANNA LOKEN), Skynet's most sophisticated cyborg killing machine yet. Sent back through time to complete the job left unfinished by her predecessor, the T-1000, this machine is as relentless as her human guise is beautiful. And she is exponentially more powerful, dangerous and destructive than every Terminator that has come before her. But this time, Connor isn't the only target on Skynet's hit list - unsuspecting veterinarian Kate Brewster (CLAIRE DANES) will see her distant past and promising present collide with an unimaginable future…but only if she can elude the unassailable T-X. When Connor and Kate realize that Judgment Day is rocketing toward them - with only three hours between them and the end of the world - their only hope for survival is a replica of the cyborg Terminator (ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER), Connor's mysterious - and now obsolete - former assassin. Together, they must triumph over the technologically superior T-X and forestall the looming threat of Judgment Day…or face the fall of civilization as we know it. MARIO F. KASSAR and ANDREW G. VAJNA present a Jonathan Mostow Film, an Intermedia/IMF Production, in association with C2 Pictures and Mostow/Lieberman Productions, starring ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER, TERMINATOR 3: RISE OF THE MACHINES.
