'Terminator 2: Judgement Day' premiered in Los Angeles on this day in 1991. The sequel to 'The Terminator' (1984) was once again directed by James Cameron. Arnold Schwarzenegger also returned as a terminator, this time sent back in time to protect ten-year-old John Connor from a T-1000 terminator sent back to kill John and stop him becoming a future resistance leader.

At the time of its release T2 was the most expensive film ever made with a budget of $102 million but more than recouped its costs grossing $520 million at the box office worldwide.
