Terminator: Dark Fate is a 2019 American science fiction action film directed by Tim Miller and written by David S. Goyer, Justin Rhodes, and Billy Ray. It is the sixth film in the Terminator franchise and a direct sequel to Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991), ignoring the events of the intervening sequels.
The film stars Linda Hamilton and Arnold Schwarzenegger reprising their roles as Sarah Connor and the Terminator respectively, and also features Mackenzie Davis and Natalia Reyes.
The film is set 25 years after the events of Terminator 2, when a malevolent artificial intelligence known as Legion from an alternate future, sends a highly advanced Terminator, the Rev-9, back in time to 2020 with instructions to kill Dani Ramos, whose fate is to become the leader of the Human Resistance in the future. The Resistance also sends Grace, an augmented soldier, back in time to defend Dani, who is also joined by Sarah Connor and Skynet's T-800 Terminator. Principal photography took place from June to November 2018 in Hungary, Spain, and the United States.
The film was released theatrically in the United States on November 1, 2019 by Paramount Pictures. It received mixed reviews from critics, and grossed $261.1 million, losing $122.6 million, making it one of the biggest box-office bombs of all time.
