Terminator Genisys is directed by Alan Taylor (Thor: The Dark World, Game of Thrones - 6 episodes) and stars Arnold Schwarzenegger (Total Recall, The Expendables), Emilia Clarke (Game of Thrones, Spike Island), Jai Courtney (Divergent, Jack Reacher) and J.K. Simmons (Whiplash, Spider-Man). "John Connor sends Kyle Reese back in time to protect Sarah Connor, but when he arrives in 1984, nothing is as he expected it to be".
