Terminator Genisys is a science fiction action film directed by Alan Taylor, the fifth installment in the Terminator franchise. The film reimagines the series’ timeline, introducing new twists while paying homage to the original films.

The story begins in 2029, when resistance leader John Connor (Jason Clarke) sends his trusted soldier, Kyle Reese (Jai Courtney), back in time to 1984 to protect Sarah Connor (Emilia Clarke) from the Terminator (Arnold Schwarzenegger), sent to kill her.

However, upon arrival, Reese discovers that the timeline has drastically changed. Sarah is no longer a vulnerable target but a trained warrior, thanks to the protection of a reprogrammed Terminator known as “Pops” (Schwarzenegger), who has been guarding her since childhood.

Together, they must stop a new, deadlier threat—Skynet’s latest creation, the T-3000—while unraveling the mysteries behind the altered timeline.

Terminator Genisys offers intense action sequences, visual effects, and thrilling time-travel twists that explore the franchise’s iconic themes of fate, technology, and human survival.

The return of Schwarzenegger as the Terminator, coupled with fresh elements in the story, brings a mix of nostalgia and new direction to the Terminator saga.
