What happens

Terminator: Dark Fate is a 2019 American science fiction action film directed by Tim Miller. It is the sixth installment in the Terminator franchise and a sequel to The Terminator (1984) and Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991), ignoring the events of Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003) and Terminator Salvation (2009). The film was written by David S. Goyer, Justin Rhodes, and Billy Ray. The film stars Linda Hamilton and Arnold Schwarzenegger reprising their roles as Sarah Connor and the Terminator respectively and also features Mackenzie Davis, Natalia Reyes and Gabriel Luna. 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. Terminator: Dark Fate was released theatrically in the United States on November 1, 2019, by Paramount Pictures in the United States and Canada and by 20th Century Fox in other countries. The film received mixed reviews from critics and grossed $261 million on a budget of $185–196 million, becoming a box-office failure. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
