Today in 1991, “Terminator 2: Judgment Day” opened in theaters, ultimately grossing $521 billion worldwide.
“Three billion human lives ended on August 29th, 1997. The survivors of the nuclear fire called the war Judgment Day. They lived only to face a new nightmare: the war against the machines.”
Thirty-three years later, Sarah Connor’s nightmare is still one of the most—if not the most—gut-wrenching fictional depictions of a nuclear attack ever depicted on screen.
