=== ''Terminator Genisys'' (2015) === {{See also|Terminator Genisys}} [[File:Sarah Connor (Emilia Clarke).jpg|upright|thumb|[[Emilia Clarke]] as Sarah Connor in ''[[Terminator Genisys]]'']] Sarah is portrayed by [[Emilia Clarke]]. Willa Taylor, the daughter of the film's director [[Alan Taylor (director)|Alan Taylor]], has a brief role as Sarah's nine-year-old self. The story takes place in an [[Parallel universe (fiction)|alternate reality]] to the continuity of the first four films due to Skynet's ([[Matt Smith (actor)|Matt Smith]]) actions throughout the timeline.{{citation needed|date=January 2016}} Therefore, Clarke's Sarah is an alternate timeline variant of her counterpart portrayed by Hamilton. In the film, Skynet sends a T-1000 ([[Lee Byung-hun]]) to an earlier point in Sarah's life, in 1973, to kill her. Sarah is nine when her parents are killed by it during camping at [[Big Bear Lake]]. Sarah is found and raised by a reprogrammed T-800 (Schwarzenegger) sent by an unknown party to be her guardian after her escape. These events result in an altered timeline that erases the events of the earlier films.<ref>{{cite magazine|last1=Sperling|first1=Nicole|title=This week's cover: First look at 'Terminator: Genisys'|url=http://popwatch.ew.com/2014/10/29/this-weeks-cover-first-look-at-terminator-genisys/|magazine=Entertainment Weekly|access-date=Oct 29, 2014}}</ref> Clarke's Sarah integrates elements of both Hamilton's portrayal and Furlong's portrayal of John in ''Terminator 2: Judgment Day''; young Sarah teaches the android, which she calls "Pops", how to be more human and forms an emotional bond with the T-800, regarding it as a surrogate father after her parents' deaths. After the T-1000's attack in 1973, Sarah learns from Pops of her assailant's motive, her destiny as John Connor's ([[Jason Clarke]]) future mother, and the Resistance's war against Skynet, including its first attempt on killing her in the original timeline's 1984. Over the next decade, Pops trains Sarah to handle weapons and prepare for her destiny. However, Sarah despises her destiny and wants the ability to choose how to live her life. Because she was trained in combat since childhood, Sarah is not helpless by the time Kyle Reese ([[Jai Courtney]]) arrives to protect her in 1984. In addition, she is headstrong, assertive, and audacious. Unlike her parallel from the original timeline, that being raised by a Terminator, Sarah has extensive knowledge on Skynet, even able to build a makeshift time machine with Pop, having advanced engineering skills decades ahead of her time. She is not dependent upon Kyle, but rather is fighting alongside him. Sarah initially resents her relationship with Kyle being dictated by fate, but she gradually falls in love with him. Sarah plans to time travel and destroy Skynet to prevent Judgment Day. Discovering the date of Skynet's initial attack has changed from 1997 to 2017, Sarah and Kyle travel 33 years into the future to stop Skynet and their alternate version of John, who had been compromised by Skynet and was changed into a cyborg known as the [[T-3000]]. After John's defeat and the prevention of Skynet from spreading to computer servers worldwide, Sarah, Kyle and Pops prepare to face an unknown future, unaware that Skynet is now self-aware in Cyberdyne's underground facility.
