Executive producers Josh Friedman (âWar of the Worldsâ), David Nutter (âSupernatural,â âSmallvilleâ) and C2 Pictures (âTerminator 3: Rise of the Machinesâ) bring to television an intense new drama based on the celebrated heroine of the âTerminatorâ movies: Sarah Connor.
At the end of âTerminator 2: Judgment Day,â Sarah vanquished the liquid metal Terminator sent from the future to kill her teenage son, John. Sarah and John now find themselves alone in a very dangerous, complicated world. Fugitives from the law, they are confronted with the reality that still more enemies from the future, and the present, could attack at any moment.
THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES reveals what happens when SARAH (Lena Headey, âThe Brothers Grimm,â â300â) stops running and goes on the offensive against an ever-evolving technological enemy bent on destroying her life, and perhaps the world. Her son, 15-year-old JOHN CONNOR (Thomas Dekker, âHeroesâ), knows that he may be the future savior of mankind, but is not yet ready to take on the mantle of leadership that heâs told is his destiny. John finds himself inextricably drawn to CAMERON (Summer Glau, âSerenity,â âThe Unitâ), an enigmatic and otherworldly student at his high school, who soon proves to be much more than his confidante â she assumes the role of Sarah and Johnâs fearless protector. On their trail are not only threats from the future, but an intelligent and tough FBI agent, JAMES ELLISON (Richard T. Jones, âJudging Amyâ), who soon becomes a powerful ally.
Directed by David Nutter and produced by Warner Bros. Television and C-2 Pictures, THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES represents an exciting reinvention of the âTerminatorâ franchise, in which the strong and intrepid Sarah discovers that protecting her son and stopping the rise of the machines is more difficult than she had ever imagined.
