Aug 29th 1997 - Skynet become self aware.

📽️📅 Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)
3 Screenshots from the movie "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" (1991): First, a man in a suit sits in a clinical, white-walled room watching a TV monitor that displays a woman in a white tank top sitting at a table across from another man; the subtitle reads "- I'm sure it feels real to you. - On August 29, 1997...". Second, a close-up of the TV monitor shows the same woman and man in the interview room, with the subtitle "anyone not wearing two-million sunblock is gonna have a real bad day. Get it?". Third, the terminator is driving a car through a desert looking at a passenger with the subtitle "The computer becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29."
