“The whole ‘dark depressing futuristic apocalypse’ thing is played out. Enough with the machines driving over human skulls. We need us some COMEDY.

“Humans in dystopian future learn that a Terminator traveled back in time and impregnated a woman, resulting in a half-cybernetic child that will grow up to be humankind’s DESTROYER! But due to technological ineptitude, we can't lock down the mother’s identity (and thus the kid's), narrowing their whereabouts to a school in a pleasant coastal town.
“And so our story begins as a gruff, futuristic badass with great comedic chops (we’re screwed if the Rock says no) representing the hopes of all humanity travels back to 2012 to identify the half-Terminator 5-year-old by substituting as a kindergarten teacher. And then, after a series of comedic misunderstandings? Kill the little bastard.
