At the end of
"Terminator 2: Judgment Day," Sarah vanquished
the 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) 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), knows that he may be the future savior
of mankind, but is not yet ready to take on the
mantle of leadership that he's told is his
destiny. John finds himself inextricably drawn
to Cameron (Summer Glau), an enigmatic and
otherworldly student at his high school, who
soon proves to be much more than his confidante.
She assumes the role of Sarah and John's
fearless protector. On their trail are not only
threats from the future, but an intelligent and
tough FBI agent, James Ellison (Richard T.
Jones), who soon becomes a powerful ally.
