Terminator 2: Judgment Day ending explained (spoilers)

[scarlett]

The SWAT team breaks into Cyberdyne, and kills Miles Dyson. He then sets off the charges. T-800, Sarah and John escape by stealing a SWAT vehicle. The T-100 hijacks a police helicopter and chases them. They eventually fight in a steel mill. The T-1000 is frozen and the T-800 shoots him, causing him to shatter. He soon reforms and the group separates. The two Terminators fight. Then the T-1000 turns its attention to Sarah. It threatens her, but then the T-800 comes and saves her. The T-1000 sticks a pole through the T-800, making it shut down. T-1000 then impersonates Sarah to get to John. The real Sarah shoots it 5 times. The T-800 reboots and shoots the T-1000 with a small explosive launcher. The T-1000 explodes and falls into a pool of molten steel, where it melts. The original arm and chip are also destroyed in the pool. The T-800 destroys itself by lowering itself into the boiling liquid steel, despite John and #8217;s pleading not to. John and Sarah Connor survive and think about the fight to keep the future safe.
