Kyle Reese is the primary character in the first Terminator film, the father of John Connor, and the love of Sarah Connor. He is played by Michael Biehn in the first and second Terminator films, Jonathan Jackson in the television series, and played as a teenager by Anton Yelchin in Terminator Salvation. Kyle Reese (Sergeant, Tech-Com, DN38416), a soldier in the human resistance from the post-apocalyptic future of The Terminator, where most of humanity had already been wiped out in a deadly nuclear war on August 29th, 1997, sparked off by an artificial intelligence known as Skynet. The sentient computer system launched a genocidal war on the survivors. Kyle Reese was born after the nuclear attacks. He was later captured by Skynet forces as a child and to survive he was forced to work in one of Skynet's concentration camps, where others are sent to their deaths. His freedom would come when a resistance movement, led by John Connor, freed him and the others from Skynet. Afterwards, Reese served in the 132nd Infantry under Justin Perry from 2021 to 2027, before transferring to Tech-Com under John Connor, someone he would come to admire and (coincidentally) consider his closest friend.
