Terminator 4 / Terminator 2018 / Salvation / The Future Redemption / The Savior / The Salvation Army

The story of "Terminator 4" is set after "Judgment Day" (July 25, 2004). The main character, Marcus Wright, was a death-row inmate in 2003 who signed a consent form before his execution allowing his body to be used for scientific research. He wakes up in 2018 and eventually finds his way to Connor's base, where he discovers that he has been transformed into a hybrid of human and machine (a Terminator). Connor doesn't trust him, but only he can help Connor infiltrate the "Skynet" core to rescue Connor's father, Kyle Reese - because if Kyle dies, Connor will never be born.

Marcus and Connor come to an agreement and enter the "Skynet" core one after another. Inside, Marcus uncovers that the so-called scientific research was actually a trap; "Skynet" had long planned to modify humans to infiltrate the human resistance organization. Marcus's role was to bring Connor and Kyle straight to "Skynet" so they could be eliminated. Realizing this, Marcus insists that he is human, not a machine, and helps Connor rescue the captured humans. Together, they defeat a T-800, and in the end, Marcus even gives his heart to the severely injured Connor.
