Terminator: Dark Fate (2019)

In 1998, three years after destroying Cyberdyne Systems Corporation, Sarah and John Connor are enjoying life by a beach in Livingston, Guatemala, when they are suddenly ambushed by a T-800 Terminator. One of several sent back through time by Skynet, the Terminator kills John and leaves, despite Sarah’s attempts to stop it. In 2020, an advanced Terminator, the Rev-9, is sent back in time to Mexico City to murder Dani Ramos, while a cybernetically enhanced soldier, Grace, is sent from 2042 to protect her. The Rev-9, disguised as Dani’s father, infiltrates the automobile assembly plant where Dani and her brother Diego work, but is thwarted by Grace, who escapes with the siblings. The Rev-9, using its ability to split into two distinct entities (its cybernetic endoskeleton and shape-shifting liquid metal exterior), pursues them, killing Diego and cornering Grace and Dani. However, Sarah arrives and temporarily disables both entities using explosives.

Dani, Grace, and Sarah retreat to a motel. Sarah reveals that she found them because in the years since John’s death, she has received encrypted messages detailing the locations of arriving Terminators, each ending with “For John”, allowing her to destroy them before they become threats. Grace notes that Skynet and John do not exist in her future and thus Sarah had succeeded in destroying the former after Cyberdyne went defunct. However, humanity’s future is threatened by another AI called Legion, originally developed for cyberwarfare; this system is built in Skynet’s place.
