Terminator: Dark Fate
Sarah Connor and a hybrid cyborg human must protect a
young girl from a newly modified liquid Terminator from
the future. More than two decades have passed since
Sarah Connor prevented Judgment Day, changed the future,
and re-wrote the fate of the human race. Dani Ramos (Natalia
Reyes) is living a simple life in Mexico City
with her brother (Diego Boneta) and father
when a highly advanced and deadly new Terminator, a
Rev-9 (Gabriel Luna), travels back through
time to hunt and kill her. Dani's survival depends on
her joining forces with two warriors: Grace (Mackenzie
Davis), an enhanced super soldier from the
future, and a battle hardened Sarah Connor (Linda
Hamilton). As the Rev-9 ruthlessly destroys
everything and everyone in its path on the hunt for Dani,
the three are led to a T-800 (Arnold
Schwarzenegger) from Sarah's past that may be their
last best hope.

twentieth-century figure, Luce turns in a paper that makes an alarming statement
about political violence.
