They are sent back in time to be disposed of by the Game Looper....

TheTerminator Salvationtrailer hype train continues to move forward. We’ve seensome action; we’ve seensome split-screen, now it’s time for … more action! I love theTerminatorfranchise and I’ll know I’ll at least play the game, but these trailers just aren’t doing it for me.
