Terminator 2: Judgment Day (15)

Plot
In the future battle between man and machine, John Connor will be key to the preservation of human life. Hence, one cyborg is sent back from the future to kill him and one to protect him. The twist - this time the protector is in the same shape as the killer sent back to destroy the boy in the first film - Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Verdict
Because it is a sequel, it's less satisfying than the more idea-driven original, but this is still top-flight kick-ass entertainment
