If you have only ever seen T2 on cable TV, you have likely seen the extended cut. Here are the critical additions restored in native 4K and why they matter.
This version adds a "Future Coda" alternate ending showing an elderly Sarah Connor in a peaceful, war-free future.
Includes 16 minutes of restored footage, such as the T-800's "learning" switch being flipped and Sarah Connor's vision of Kyle Reese.
The film's story takes place 11 years after the events of the first film, with a more advanced AI system, Skynet, on the verge of becoming self-aware. The human resistance sends back a reprogrammed T-800 Terminator (Schwarzenegger) to protect John Connor, the future leader of the resistance, from a more advanced T-1000 Terminator.
