Anno 2003. Marcus Wright è detenuto nel Braccio della Morte in attesa di ricevere l'iniezione letale. Ha ucciso suo fratello e due poliziotti e vuole soltanto farla finita ma la dottoressa Serena Kogan ha deciso per lui un altro destino. Firmato un documento legale che consegna il suo corpo alla scienza e gli promette una seconda opportunità, Marcus viene ‘terminato'. Anno 2018. John Connor, leader ideale e carismatico del genere umano, partecipa alla Resistenza contro Skynet, il network di intelligenze artificiali, e il suo esercito di Terminator indistruttibili. Efficace e intraprendente, è deciso a sferrare un attacco mortale al nemico, a trovare suo padre Kyle Reese e a garantire un futuro all'umanità dopo l'apocalisse nucleare scatenata dalle macchine. Lo aiuterà Marcus, galeotto venuto dal passato e portatore di un segreto. Diffidenti ma determinati a vincere la loro battaglia, collaboreranno e troveranno la verità nel cuore.
