T2 3-D: Battle Across Time is a short film from 1996.
It's a post-story to Terminator 2 - Judgment Day , which was originally produced as an attraction for Universal Studios Hollywood . The film was James Cameron's first exposure to 3D technology.
The total cost of production was $ 60 million. Calculated per minute of film, it would be the most expensive short film in film history.
This short film was shot in 3D on 70 mm film at 30 frames per second. In contrast to many later 3D productions (which were digitally converted in post-production), T2 3-D is a "real" 3D production (one camera per eye) filmed simultaneously with 2 cameras. A special feature is that through the use of three screens, similar to the Cinerama system, an extra-wide image is generated in the further course of the show and actors also interact live on a stage to match the film scenes. For this purpose, two 70 mm projectors are required for each of the three screens to enable 3D playback. All 6 projectors have to run absolutely synchronously in order not to destroy the stereo effect and to enable continuous action across all screens.

The film begins with a screening by the Cyberdyne development company. A small commercial follows, in which Shaquille O'Neal can be seen briefly.
Later, the guests are asked to put on safety glasses - these are 3D glasses . A T-1000 shows up and chases Sarah and John Connor. A Terminator from the T-800 series (model 101) comes to the rescue and drives with John on a motorcycle towards the screen. Both of them are suddenly in the future. There they try to put Skynet out of action.
