Sarah Conner starts fighting back to protect her son, John, and the world starting Monday, Jan. 14, on Fox.

LOS ANGELES (Oct. 18, 2007) ­—Once again facing relentless Terminators that will stop at nothing until John Connor, the future leader of the resistance, is eliminated, Sarah Connor stops running and starts fighting back against fate and the machines that are out for her son in the highly anticipated new series Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles premiering 7 p.m. Monday, Jan. 14, on FOX.

Unfolding where Terminator 2: Judgment Day leaves off, The Sarah Connor Chronicles finds Sarah (Lena Headey) and her 15-year-old son John (Thomas Dekker) alone in a dangerous world. As fugitives from the law, they are confronted by the ever-evolving technological enemy bent on destroying their lives and, perhaps, the world.

Balancing his inevitable fate as the possible savior of mankind and his current life as an ordinary high school student, John must learn what it takes to become the future leader of the people’s resistance. His only friend is Cameron (Summer Glau), an enigmatic and otherworldly student at his high school who soon proves to be much more than his confidante – she assumes the role of fearless protector to both Sarah and John. Together, Sarah, John and Cameron, all extraordinary in their own right, attempt to become a “normal” family.

On their trail are not only threats from the future, but also an intelligent and tough FBI agent, James Ellison (Richard T. Jones), who just might become a powerful ally.

The Sarah Connor Chronicles represents an exciting reinvention of the Terminator film franchise, in which the strong and intrepid Sarah discovers that protecting her son and stopping the rise of the machines is more difficult than she had ever imagined
