TERMINATOR 2

TERMINATOR 2: JUDGMENT DAY in 70mm

May 22–25
35th Anniversary | Rare 70mm print!

The malevolent AI Skynet sends an advanced T-1000 “terminator” cyborg into the past to kill future resistance leader John, son of waitress-turned-revolutionary Sarah Connor. Their only hope against this deadly new adversary is an older, reprogrammed model (Arnold Schwarzenegger), sent to the past to protect the Connors and ensure humanity’s survival. James Cameron’s sequel to his own landmark cyberpunk film is a high-octane thrill ride filled with incredible pyrotechnics, jaw-dropping stunt work and groundbreaking CGI.
