hwp 1 ext. city street - day 1
Downtown L.A. Noon on a hot summer day. On an EXTREME LONG LENS the
lunchtime crowd stacks up into a wall of humanity. In SLOW MOTION they
move in herds among the glittering rows of cars jammed bumper to bumper.
Heat ripples distort the torrent of faces. The image is surreal,
dreamy... and like a dream it begins very slowly to
dissolve to:
2 ext. city ruins - night 2
Same spot as the last shot, but now it is a landscape in Hell. The cars
are stopped in rusted rows, still bumper to bumper. The skyline of
buildings beyond has been shattered by some unimaginable force like a
row of kicked-down sandcastles. Wind blows through the desolation,
keening with the sound of ten million dead souls. It scurries the ashes
into drifts, stark white in the moonlight against the charred rubble. A
TITLE CARD FADES IN:
LOS ANGELES, July 11, 2029
3 ANGLE ON a heap of fire-blackened human bones. Beyond the mound is
a 3 vast tundra of skulls and shattered concrete. The rush hour
crowds burned down in their tracks.
4 WE DISSOLVE TO a playground... where intense heat has half-melted
the 4 jungle gym, the blast has warped the swing set, the
merry-go-round has sagged in the firestorm. Small skulls look
accusingly from the ash-drifts. WE HEAR the distant echo of
childrens voices... playing and laughing in the sun. A silly,
sing-songy rhyme as WE TRACK SLOWLY over seared asphalt where the
faint hieroglyphs of hopscotch lines are still visible.
CAMERA comes to rest on a burnt and rusted tricycle... next to the
tiny skull of its owner. HOLD ON THIS IMAGE as a female VOICE
speaks: *
VOICE * 3 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... *
A metal foot crushes the skull like china.
TILT UP, revealing a humanoid machine holding a massive battle rifle.
It looks like a CHROME SKELETON... a high-tech Death figure. It is the
endoskeleton of a Series 800 Terminator. Its glowing red eyes
compassionlessly sweep the dead terrain, hunting.
TERMINATOR 2 - Rev. 9/10/90 2
4 The SOUND of ROARING TURBINES. Searchlights blaze down as a 4
formation of flying HK (Hunter-Killer) patrol machines passes
overhead. PAN WITH THEM toward the jagged horizon, beyond which
we see flashes, and hear the distant thunder of a pitched battle in
progress.
5 ext. battlefield - night 5
THE BATTLE. Human troops in desperate combat with the machines for
possession of the dead Earth. The humans are a ragtag guerrilla army.
Skynets weapons consist of the Ground HKs (tank-like robot
gun-platforms), flying Aerial HKs, four-legged gun-pods called
Centurions, and the humanoid Terminators in various forms.
SEQUENCE OF RAPID CUTS: 5A Explosions! Beam-weapons firing like
searing strobe-lights. 5A* 5B A gunner in an armored personnel
carrier fires a LAW rocket at a pursuing 5B Aerial HK, bringing it
down in a fiery explosion. 5C Another APC is crushed under the treads
of a massive Ground HK. 5C
5D A TEAM OF GUERRILLAS in an intense fire-fight with terminator 5D
5E endoskeletons in the ruins of a building. Three terminator
endoskeletons 5E* 5F advance, firing rapidly. Another (complete
cyborg), with flesh ripped open 5F and back broken, gropes for a
rifle on the ground.
5G A Centurion overruns a human firing position. Soldiers are cut down
as they 5G run. Fiery explosions light the ranks of advancing
machines.
6 IN A BLASTED GUN EMPLACEMENT at the edge of battle, a man watches
6 the combat with night vision binoculars. He wears the uniform of
a guerrilla general, and a black beret. He is still amid running,
shouting techs and officers.
C.U. MAN, pushing slowly in as the battle rages O.S. He lowers the
binoculars. He is forty-five years old. Features severe. The left
side of his face is heavily scarred. A patch covers that eye. An
impressive man, forged in the furnace of a lifetime of war. The name
stitched on the band of his beret is CONNER. We push in until his eyes
fill frame, then...
DISSOLVE TO
FIRE. SLOW ROILING, ENORMOUS. FILLING FRAME. *
VOICE (SARA CONNER) * Skynet, the computer which controlled the *
Machines, sent two terminators back through * time. Their
mission: to destroy the leader of the * human Resistance... John
Conner. My son. *
The first terminator was programmed to strike * at me, in the year
1984... before John was born. * It failed. *
TERMINATOR 2 - Rev. 9/10/90 3
6 VOICE (SARA CONNER) 6* The second was set to strike at John himself,
* when he was still a child. As before, the * Resistance was able
to send a lone warrior. A * protector for John. It was just a
question of * which one of them would reach him first... *
DISSOLVE TO: 7 ext. truckstop - night 7
Wild fingers of BLUE-WHITE ELECTRIC ARCS dance in a steel canyon formed
by two TRACTOR TRAILERS, parked side by side in the back lot of an all
night truck stop. Then...
The strange lightning forms a circular opening
