Terminator Salvation (2009)

The prologue of the film begins in 2003. Sentenced to death, Marcus Wright agrees to donate his body for scientific research, after which he is injected with a lethal injection. Post-apocalyptic future, 2018. Artificial intelligence Skynet creates new hordes of terminators and destroys people. One of the resistance commanders, John Connor, is fighting a desperate battle with the machines. At the same time, Marcus Wright crawls out of the wreckage quite alive and immediately almost dies when he collides with the T-600 robot. He is saved from death by a teenager named Kyle Reese, who fights on the side of the resistance. But then they encounter Skynet's machines again and Reese is captured, while Marcus manages to get to the resistance base where he finally meets Conor.

Then it turns out that he is not an ordinary person and is directly connected with Skynet. John Connor and his associates take a serious risk by trusting Marcus, but only he can sneak into the enemy base unnoticed and save Kyle Reese, who in turn is destined to go back in time to protect Sarah Connor. Director McGee asked the actors and the entire crew to read the novels "The Road" by Cormac McCarthy and "Blade Runner" by Philip K. Dick, so that everyone would be inspired by the world of a gloomy post-apocalyptic future. The film really created a plausible image of the world after a nuclear disaster, where the atmosphere lost its protective properties, and the sun burned everything to the ground.
