The original mission is to keep Sarah from giving birth to her future son John, who in the future, leads a team of soldiers that save the world from a future where machines have taking over the world. In order to prevent this from happening, one of John’s best soldiers, Kyle Reese traveled to 1984 with the mission to stop the Terminator.
