Film Treatment
Logline
In an alternate WWII, Nikola Tesla invents the original time displacement machine in 1931 (Psalm 31), drawing the attention of the Allied and Axis powers. When Die Glocke, the Nazi Bell, threatens to rewrite history, John Connor (Joseph C. Jukic), Katherine “Schnelly” Brewster (Nelly Furtado), and the reprogrammed T-800 B (Bruno Jukic) are sent back in time to stop the rise of a machine-led Fourth Reich.
ACT I: THE WAR OF TIME
Opening Scene:
A montage reveals a ruined Earth in 2091—Skynet has merged with Nazi super-AI remnants. John Connor (JCJ), leader of the resistance, studies declassified files on Nikola Tesla. Tesla, hunted by spies, built the first time displacement device in 1931, inspired by Psalm 31: “Into your hands I commit my spirit.”
Cut to 1931, New York City:
Tesla activates the prototype. A portal opens—but he’s betrayed by operatives loyal to the rising Nazi party, who steal his blueprints and vanish.
Back to 2091:
Connor learns the Nazis built Die Glocke (“The Bell”) in 1933, using Tesla’s tech. The Bell isn’t just a time machine—it’s a gateway to create the Reich Eternal, a timeline where the Axis powers never lose.
The Mission Begins:
Connor assembles his squad. Katherine “Schnelly” Brewster, codename for her surgical strike precision, is his second-in-command. A surprise asset joins them—T-800 Model B (Bruno Jukic), a reprogrammed Terminator built in the image of a Balkan resistance hero, known for his brute strength and loyalty. His mission: protect Connor at all costs.
ACT II: THE BATTLE FOR 1933
Time Jump:
The trio travels back to 1933 Berlin, the year Hitler rises to power and the Nazi Bell spins for the first time beneath Wewelsburg Castle. Tesla, believed to be dead, is secretly working with British intelligence.
The Resistance Inside the Reich:
Disguised as German physicists and journalists, Connor and his team infiltrate the Reich’s science division. Brewster discovers that Die Glocke is powered by human consciousness—captured from victims of war, their pain transformed into temporal energy. “This isn’t just evil,” she whispers, “it’s metaphysical genocide.”
T-800 B’s Backstory:
Flashbacks reveal that T-800 B’s original programming was modeled after Bruno Jukic, a WWII Partisan who once killed a Nazi general with a steam pipe. The Terminator wrestles with echoes of the real Bruno’s soul, struggling with emerging human traits: guilt, memory, and justice.
Tesla’s Redemption:
The real Tesla emerges, hiding in Vienna under Vatican protection. “I gave them fire,” he confesses. “They made it hell.” Tesla agrees to help shut down Die Glocke—but only if Connor and Brewster promise to save his younger self from assassination by OSS agents who wrongly suspect him of being a Nazi collaborator.
ACT III: THE TERMINATION OF HISTORY
Climactic Showdown – Castle Wewelsburg:
The Allies launch a covert strike, joined by a rogue Soviet operative named Natasha Volkov. Inside the castle, the Nazis have built the prototype Reichserum, injecting SS officers with Skynet nanites.
T-800 B battles his corrupted twin model—T-800 SS, powered by Hitler’s mind digitally preserved in an AI core. The battle is brutal, ending with T-800 B driving his twin into Die Glocke’s spinning chamber, disintegrating both of them.
Tesla’s Sacrifice:
As the machine implodes, Tesla plugs into the core, using his own mind to reverse the timeline corruption. With his last breath, he quotes Psalm 31:5.
Escape Through Time:
Connor and Brewster leap through a collapsing portal back to 2091. They land in a new world—cleaner skies, human cities rebuilding. A plaque reads:
“Dedicated to Nikola Tesla, the Man Who Saved Time.”
EPILOGUE:
Connor walks through a peaceful Vienna with Schnelly. He whispers, “We still fight. But now… we have a chance.”
A boy in a trench coat runs past with an odd humming object—a cracked piece of Die Glocke. The future is never safe.
CUT TO BLACK.

Sequel Setup: “TERMINATOR: THE VATICAN CODES”
An encrypted letter from Pope Pius XII reveals a second Bell hidden under the catacombs…
Here’s the updated film treatment with Arnold Schwarzenegger returning as William Candy, an American WWII ace pilot and the genetic template for the T-800 series. His role adds humor, heart, and badassery to Terminator: Axis vs Allies.
🛩️ UPDATED TITLE: Terminator: Axis vs Allies
Starring:
Joseph C. Jukic as John Connor
Nelly “Schnelly” Furtado as Katherine Brewster
Bruno Jukic as T-800 Model B
Arnold Schwarzenegger as Captain William Candy
✈️ INTRODUCING ARNOLD’S ROLE: WILLIAM CANDY
Background:
Captain William “Billy” Candy is a Southern-drawling, muscle-bound American fighter ace who becomes an unexpected ally to the time-traveling resistance fighters. He’s also the human prototype whose face and voice are later used for the T-800 series in the future. His strong jawline, unbreakable morale, and loud “Yeehaw!”s make him a beloved soldier among the Allied airmen.
🪖 ACT II ADDITION: The Allies Strike Back
After Connor, Brewster, and T-800 B make contact with Tesla and discover Die Glocke’s location, they are ambushed by Nazi storm commandos enhanced with Skynet nanotech. Cornered in the Bavarian Alps, they are suddenly rescued by strafing P-51 Mustangs, dropping hellfire on the Nazi convoy.
Enter Captain William Candy, landing his Mustang in a nearby field, stepping out in full bomber jacket and cigar in mouth. “Well I’ll be! I ain’t never seen a robot smoke a Nazi before. Y’all from the comic books or somethin’?”
🧬 GENETIC TEMPLATE REVEAL SCENE
Connor stares in disbelief. “He looks exactly like the T-800…”
Brewster scans him with a handheld device. “John… he is the template. This is the man Cyberdyne used for the Terminator body.”
T-800 B looks at Candy. “Your voice… is different.”
Candy chuckles, “My mama said my accent was charming. Apparently Cyberdyne didn’t think so.”
(Meta-joke line: Connor mutters, “Yeah… they fixed that in post.”)
💥 ACT III – ASSAULT ON DIE GLOCKE
Candy joins the team for the final assault on Castle Wewelsburg, flying a custom black P-51 Mustang retrofitted with stolen Nazi tech and a Tesla EMP device strapped to the fuselage.
During the climactic air raid on Die Glocke, Candy gives one of the most iconic lines:
“Time to terminate your time machine!”
He dive-bombs into the central reactor, ejecting just in time. His EMP bomb disables the Bell’s shield generator, allowing Connor and Brewster to breach the core.
🤕 FINAL SCENE: FATE OF WILLIAM CANDY
After the battle, Connor finds Candy bruised, laughing in a barn with a bottle of brandy. “I ain’t never flown through time before… but I’d do it again for apple pie and a world without those Nazi tin cans.”
Brewster patches him up. “You just saved the future.”
Candy winks, “Well darlin’, maybe they’ll remember me. Or at least my face.”
Camera lingers on a black-and-white photo of William Candy with the words:
“Template: Cyberdyne Systems Model 101 – Human Source File: W. Candy, 1911–1990.”
🎬 POST-CREDITS TEASE:
Inside a Skynet lab in 2091, engineers run simulations on Candy’s DNA and voice modulation.
Voice Sample 1: “Howdy, y’all! Time to kick some tail!”
Voice Sample 2: “I’ll be back.”
Engineer: “Yeah. Let’s go with the second one.”
End.
