Sarah Jeanette Connor is a fictional character in the various universes depicted within the Terminator franchise. She appears as the protagonist of The Terminator, Terminator 2: Judgment Day and Terminator Genisys, as well as the television series and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. The character develops greatly over the course of these productions, from a timid damsel in distress victim in the first film, to a wanted fugitive committing acts of terrorism, to hardened warrior and mother who sacrificed everything for the sake of her son's future and is on the verge of losing touch with her own humanity, and finally, reimagined as a young, headstrong heroine determined to control her own destiny.
The story takes place in an alternate reality to the continuity of the first 4 films due to time travel, in which Sarah is orphaned at age nine as the result of a Terminator attack, and was raised by a reprogrammed T-800 Model 101 sent by an unknown agent to be her protector. Aspects of Edward Furlong’s portrayal as John Connor in addition of Hamilton's on Terminator 2: Judgment Day is integrated into Clarke’s, as young Sarah teaches her cyborg guardian of how to be more human and forming an emotional bond with the Terminator (and thus, in contrast with Sarah's alternate self, is not afraid or hostile towards the T-800), and Sarah is not be a damsel in distress as she was in the first film, thereby is not completely dependent on Kyle Reese after his arrival from the original future timeline but fighting alongside with him.
In the year 2017, Sarah, Kyle, and the T-800 discover that John Connor has been compromised by Skynet in the future, becoming a T-3000 unit terminator, and thus his destiny as humanity's savior apparently has changed. Discovering that the alteration of the timeline has cause the date of Skynet's initial attack changed from 1997 to 2017, Sarah and Kyle travel 33 years into the future to stop Skynet, fighting a desperate battle in hopes to avert its impending rise, and battle against their future son, with the help of the Guardian, who is the main antagonist of the film. After defeating the T-3000 and preventing Skynet from spreading throughout every computer system worldwide, the trio prepares to face an unknown future, in hopes that it will be a brighter one, not knowing that Skynet is now self-aware in Cyberdyne's underground facility.
