In the barely-remembered time before the Terminators, the life of a young woman key to humanity's survival depends on the actions of Kyle Reese in present-day 2029.

Guided by information about a hidden Cyberdyne facility, the three friends must brave T-800s, HKs, rogue resistance gangs, and other threats in their search for any advantage against the machines. What they can't anticipate is the nature of the incredible resource hidden within the facility's walls!

* Written by rising star Zack Whedon (Dr. Horrible, Fringe, Deadwood)!

* Terminator and Terminator 2 are on the AFI's list of the 100 Most Heart-Pounding American Movies!
