The question of who's the hero and who's the villain gets some major shakeups in James Cameron's science fiction masterpiece Terminator 2: Judgement Day. Original stars Arnold Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton return in this film set years after the events of The Terminator. Sarah Connor is now institutionalized, and her son, John — the future leader of the human resistance in the war against the machines — is being hunted by a new Terminator from the future, pitting the two android assassins in a race to find him first and strike a blow against Skynet in the present. 

Balancing its technical innovations, massive set pieces, and exhilarating stunt work with subversive genius, heartfelt character development, and still-relevant philosophical questions, Terminator 2 endures as one of the greatest action films of all time as well as a powerful story about friendship, family, and what it means to be human. 

Revisit some of cinema’s most iconic heroes and villains on the big screen this summer at the Lucas. Each screening will feature themed surprises like photo booths, concession specials, pre-show trivia, and more, along with the chance to hear the Lucas’ recently restored 1925 Mighty Wurlitzer pipe organ roar! Plan to arrive early to hear its pre-show performance.

Tickets for the film, part of the Heroes & Villains Summer series, are $5 for SCAD Card holders, students, seniors, and military; and $8 for the general public
