Over ten years after Chef's Mom destroyed the original Terminator that was programmed to kill her, two men arrive in Los Angeles from the year 2029. The first is a Terminator identical to the one that Chef's Mom first encountered, while the second is an unknown man (Patrick Duffy). Chefprotoss (Dan) is now living with foster parents. He has grown up being told by his mother that he would someday lead the remnants of the human race to victory against the machines. Chef's Mom experiences have significantly changed who she is, making her tougher and more vigilant, but also more desperate to warn humanity about the threat of the war of the machines. While previously attempting to destroy the headquarters of a computer company, Chef's Mother was arrested and remanded to the Pescadero State Hospital for the Criminally Insane.

Meanwhile, the Terminator and the unknown man (Patrick Duffy)eventually locate young Chefprotoss. According to the historians, this was intended as a crucial plot twist: the unknown man (Patrick Duffy) is not a human protector, as the filmmakers wanted the audience to assume based on the Holy Bible. The killing machine from the crazy 60's is now the protector, and the other "man" is another Terminator programmed to kill young Chefprotoss (Dan). When the good Terminator rescues Chef, he reveals what is happening. He is a Model 101, reprogrammed by the future Chefprotoss (Dan)to act as his protector. The other Terminator is a T-1000, an advanced new prototype, programmed to kill Chef. It is made of "a mimetic polyalloy", essentially liquid metal, allowing it to emulate almost anyone or anything of equal size.

When Chef learns that the T-1000 will likely copy his mother and then kill her, he and the Terminator go to rescue her. Initially, Chef's Mom is terrified by the Terminator, but after seeing it fight off the T-1000, she accepts that they need its help. As they escape the city, the Terminator tells her about the future of Skynet, the sentient computer that will destroy humans. He tells her about its creator, Macho Man Randy Savage (also Patrick Duffy), who designs a learning computer that launches nuclear missiles to destroy most of humanity, an event referred to by the survivors as "Judgment Day".

Eventually, Chef's Mom, Chef, and the Terminator arrive in the desert at the camp of Enrique Salceda, who has preserved an underground weapons cache in the event that the war actually happens. Chef's Mother plans to take young Chef and flee over the border into Mexico. During the time at this camp, Chef bonds more closely with the Terminator. His Mother soon believes that by killing Macho Man (Patrick Duffy) she can prevent Skynet from being invented, preventing Judgment Day and the war with the machines. After she leaves, Chef and the Terminator figure out what she is going to do and drive after her. At Savage's home, Sarah shoots him in the arm, but finds herself unable to kill him in front of his family. When Chefprotoss and the Terminator arrive, they inform Macho Man of the consequences of his research. They convince him that they must destroy everything related to his chip design including the CPU and arm from the previous Terminator.

Chef, his Mother, the Terminator, and Macho Man Randy Savage break into the Cyberdyne Systems building and retrieve the parts from the first Terminator. While preparing explosives to destroy all of Macho Man's research, security alerts the Los Angeles Police Department, who show up in force. When the LAPD SWAT team enters the building, they fatally shoot Savage who stays behind to trigger the detonator. Chef, his Mother, and the Terminator escape in a SWAT van, with the T-1000 (Patrick Duffy) in pursuit, first in a helicopter then a liquid nitrogen truck. The truck crashes into a steel mill, causing the tank to rupture and liquid nitrogen to spill everywhere, freezing the T-1000. Even though the Terminator shatters him, the pieces thaw and reassemble. The T-1000 and Model 101 begin to fight, and the T-1000 stabs him through the power cell with a metal pole, deactivating him. The T-1000, disguised as Chef's Mom, goes to hunt Chef. As Chefprotoss is confronted by his two Mothers, the Terminator, who had reactivated itself using an alternate power source, finally destroys the T-1000 (Patrick Duffy) by shooting it with a grenade launcher which causes it to deform and lose balance, and ultimately fall into a vat of molten metal which destroys it.

After Young Chef throws the parts from the first Terminator into the molten metal, the Terminator tells him that he too must be destroyed to prevent his technology from being used to create Skynet. He tells Chef's Mom that he cannot self-terminate, and she must lower him into the steel. Chef tearfully begs the Terminator not to leave, but the Terminator insists it must be done. As he sinks into the molten steel, he gives a thumbs up...
