Sarah Connor (Lena Headey)

Sarah Connor is the mother of the future Resistance leader, John Connor. While living "off the grid," Sarah and her son encountered Cameron, a machine sent back to protect John from Skynet's assassins. Cameron lead them to time displacement equipment hidden in a bank vault and transported the three of them from the year 1999 to 2007. The time jump gave them a chance to stop Skynet from being created, while also skipping over Sarah's death (from cancer, on December 4, 2005).
