In the original Terminator, the robotic Cyberdyne Systems Model 101 Series 800 (played by Schwarzenegger, also called T-800) travelled from the future to do away with Sarah ConnorSarah Connor is a German pop music singer; see Sarah Connor (musician) a fictional character from the films The Terminator and Terminator 2 see Sarah Connor (fictional character). (Hamilton) before she had a son who would one day lead the resistance against the robot's creator, a supercomputer that will have taken over the world. A member of the resistance also travelled back in time, and helped Connor to defeat the robot.
In the sequel, two robots travel back from the future: one to kill Sarah's son John (now a teenager, played by Edward FurlongEdward Walter Furlong (born August 2, 1977) is an American actor.

The son of Elenor Torres and an unknown father, he was raised by his uncle and aunt (Se), and one to rescue him. The twist (given away by the movie's advance publicity) is that this time Schwarzenegger's character (T-800) is the rescuer, having been re-programmed by the resistance to protect John from the more advanced prototype T-1000 (Patrick) that has been sent back to kill him.

In some ways, Terminator 2 is a character study of Sarah Connor. She is a quite different person from the frail woman in the first Terminator film; her entire perspective on life has been irreversibly altered by the events in her life. We find her in a mental institution at the outset of this film. The knowledge she has about mankind's future has made her ever vigilant, a trait which is perceived as paranoia and psychosis by those around her. It is also the source of recurring nightmares, and a great deal of antagonism, making it even harder for the doctors overseeing her "recovery" to accept the reality of what she has lived through. However, during the escape from the hospital, the lead doctor is stunned to see both Terminators in operation and realizes that Sarah was telling the truth.
She finds it nearly impossible to accept that the Terminator (Schwarzenegger) is benevolent; throughout the film, she remains hostile towards it and what it represents, while her own son develops a bond with it resembling a father-son relationship. In the director's cut of the movie, it is revealed that Sarah has the opportunity to destroy the machine's processor, thus killing it. She nearly does so.
In a moment of desperation, Sarah attempts to murder Miles Dyson, the researcher who is destined to build the neural network that eventually becomes SkynetThis article is about the fictional computer network. See Skynet (disambiguation) for other meanings. Skynet is the fictional computer network owned by Cyberdyne Systems Corporation featured as the never-seen villain of The Terminator film series. Skynet. Ultimately, Sarah, John, and the Terminator persuade Dyson to stop his research and destroy all recovered remnants of the first Terminator. The Terminator then, with the help of Sarah Connor, destroys himself, despite the protests of the young John. This ending is considered to give "Terminator 2" a more meaningful and emotional end than most action films.
