Terminator 3/Hard to Kill (2005) (Back to Back)

Two action-based dramas unfold on this thrill ride of a double-feature.

TERMINATOR 3: Returning for a third bout of cyborg time travelling, Arnold Schwarzenegger reprises his good-robot role from TERMINATOR 2, once again travelling back from the future to protect future human resistance leader John Connor (played this time around by Nick Stahl). We soon discover that Connor has become something of a drifter, his mother Sarah Connor has passed away, and he has taken to the road in order to preserve himself for his supposed destiny. When Connor breaks into a lab to score some painkillers, he unwittingly runs into his future belle Kate Brewster (Claire Danes), and a whole load of titanium-plated-trouble in the form of a hot female Terminator played by newcomer Kristanna Loken. Hell-bent on destroying Connor, Brewster, and anyone else that gets in her way, Loken's Terminator comes face to face with Schwarzenegger's Terminator leading to some epic battles between the two cyborgs, and a neat string of one-liners from Schwarzenegger.

HARD TO KILL: Gunned down and left for dead when his family was murdered, Detective Mason Storm awakes from a seven-year coma and seeks to settle the score. With the aid of a coma ward nurse and his former partner - now retired - he goes after the corrupt politician who engineered the attempt on his life.
