I. Introduction
The Prologue (2003): Marcus Wright, a prisoner on death row, signs his body over to Cyberdyne Systems (Skynet) for medical research.
The Awakening (2018): Marcus wakes up in a post-apocalyptic Los Angeles. He doesn't know it has been 15 years. He encounters a young teenager named Kyle Reese.
The Resistance Discovery: John Connor (now a high-ranking resistance leader) discovers that Skynet has a "Kill List." The number one target is Kyle Reese. This is the inciting incident—Connor realizes he must save Reese to ensure his own existence (because Reese is his father).
The Hybrid Reveal: During a rescue mission, Marcus is injured and revealed to be a human/machine hybrid—a "Prototype" infiltrator. He believes he is human, but his skeleton is metal. He has a human heart and a human brain (augmented with a chip).
The Setup: Skynet orchestrated Marcus's escape. Skynet allowed Marcus to find the Resistance so he could lead them into a trap at Skynet Central in San Francisco.
The Climax: John Connor infiltrates Skynet Central to rescue Kyle Reese. Marcus accesses the Skynet mainframe and learns the truth: he was built to lure Connor to his death.
The Choice: Marcus rips out his controlling chip, fighting alongside Connor against the T-800 (Model 101).
The Ending: They defeat the T-800 and escape, but John Connor suffers severe heart damage. Marcus sacrifices his own life, donating his human heart to save Connor.
