Terminator 3 Rise Of The Machines Official Magazine

Both the original Terminator movie and the second Terminator: Judgment Day movie were huge successes so it was no surprise when a third Terminator movie was announced.

Terminator 3 Rise Of The Machines introduced a female Terminator.

A lot of Terminator fans pooh-poohed the movie, but I liked it.  It was a clever twist to the Terminator franchise.  It followed the life of John Connor after he became a man and what led up to him becoming the savior of mankind against the Terminator threat.

Having failed to kill Sarah Connors as a young woman and later her son John Connor as a young boy, Skynet sent a female Terminator (Terminatrix) back in time to kill John as a man.

Once again another Terminator (Arnold Schwarzenagger) was sent back in time to save the lives of John and his future wife.  

Beckett released an embossed cover Terminator 3 Rise Of The Machines magazine which has a Terminatrix photo embossed on its cover.

Inside is a short synopsis of the film, a behind-the-scenes look at making the movie, an interview with actress Kristanna Loken who played the Terminatrix and a history of Skynet,
