A T-800 Terminator is sent back through time with a singular objective: protect John Connor and his mother Sarah from an unstoppable killing machine. The T-1000, a liquid-metal prototype far more lethal than anything encountered before, has been dispatched to eliminate both the young resistance leader and his mother. Players must guide the cyborg guardian through intense combat scenarios and treacherous environments to keep the Connors alive and prevent the T-1000 from completing its mission.
