| Judgement Day movie quiz question |
In the franchise, Judgment Day (a reference to the biblical Day of Judgment) is referred to as the date on which Skynet becomes self-aware, decides to exterminate mankind, and launches a nuclear attack on Russia to provoke a nuclear counter-strike against the United States. Due to time travel and consequent ability to change the future, several differing dates are given for Judgment Day in different films in the franchise. In Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Sarah states that Judgment Day will occur on August 29, 1997. However, the attack on Cyberdyne Systems in the second film results in the creation of new parallel timelines: in the continuity of Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines and Terminator Salvation, Judgment Day was postponed to July 25, 2004; in the separate chronology of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, the attack on Cyberdyne Systems delayed Judgment Day to April 21, 2011.
In Terminator Genisys, the fifth film in the franchise, Judgment Day was believed to have been postponed to an unspecified day in October 2017, attributed to altered events in both the future and the past. Sarah and Kyle time travel to 2017 and seemingly defeat Skynet but the system core, contained inside a subterranean blast shelter, secretly survives, thus further delaying Judgment Day.
The real-world passing of April 21, 2011, the date for Judgment Day in Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, prompted BBC News to pose the question, "How close were the Terminator films to the reality of 2011?". This television news spot attempted to compare and contrast how far present day technology and society had developed in relation to the predictions of the motion picture franchise.
