Encyclopedic overview
Terminator Genisys is a 2015 American science fiction action film serving as a reboot and the fifth installment in the Terminator franchise. Directed by Alan Taylor from a screenplay by Laeta Kalogridis and Patrick Lussier, the film stars Arnold Schwarzenegger reprising his role as the Terminator, alongside Jason Clarke, Emilia Clarke, Jai Courtney, J. K. Simmons, and Lee Byung-hun. Despite Schwarzenegger's involvement and the mirroring of certain events from the previous films, the film is a standalone entry with no canonical connection to the prior installments; it is described as a "reimagining" of The Terminator (1984).
The plot follows Kyle Reese (Courtney), a soldier from a post-apocalyptic 2029 where humanity wages war against Skynet. Sent back to 1984 to protect Sarah Connor (Emilia Clarke), Reese discovers the timeline has been altered—Sarah was raised by a reprogrammed Terminator (Schwarzenegger) sent to guard her. The film explores the consequences of Skynet's interference with temporal events.
