The Sarah Connor Chronicles is a 2007 television series based on The Terminator film series. The series is set after the second film, Terminator 2: Judgment Day and centers on Sarah Connor, portrayed by Lena Headey and her son John, played by Thomas Dekker. Also appearing in the series is Firefly and Serenity actor, Summer Glau as a terminator and Richard T. Jones as FBI agent James Ellison. The series' pilot episode was directed by David Nutter and written by Josh Friedman who will also serve as the show runner.

The series is set after the events of Terminator 2: Judgment Day and essentially ignores and overwrites the events of Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines. It documents Sarah's life after she stops running and goes on the offensive against Skynet which has somehow been recreated and will ultimately create the machines that aim to destroy her and her son and ultimately, humanity as a whole. Not quite ready for his future role as the savior of mankind, John is rescued from a Terminator assassin by high school student, Cameron, who proves to be a terminator sent by his future self to protect him and Sarah. In addition to mechanical agents from the future they must face off against FBI Agent, James Ellison who they manage to convince to help them.

Unable to outrun the robot, Cameron takes the family on a jump from 1999 to 2007. On arrival, Sarah learns that she has a new nemesis, this one from within. In the original timeline she died of cancer in 2005. Trouble finds them within days of their arrival in 2007 and Sarah and John must catch up quickly with the events of the past eight years.
