Terminator Salvation, released in 2009, is a science fiction action film directed by McG and featuring Christian Bale, Sam Worthington, and Anton Yelchin. The plot takes place in a post-apocalyptic world ruled by Skynet, an artificial intelligence that has almost decimated the human race. The protagonist, John Connor, leads the resistance against the machines and works to save humanity from extinction. In an interview, director McG mentions the existence of a director's cut of Terminator Salvation which is reportedly grittier and has a higher rating than the original version. However, it is uncertain if this version will ever be made available to the general public.
