DALLAS, May 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Calling the real Sarah and John Connors of the world: the release of Terminator Salvation is just around the corner, and Pizza Hut is joining the resistance. This Thursday, Pizza Hut is offering the Terminator Salvation Special - a free medium one-topping pizza for anyone named Sarah or John Connor. (Sorry, members of Skynet and Terminators not eligible).

You don't have to live in 2018 to claim your prize - if your name is Sarah Connor or John Connor, head to your local Pizza Hut restaurant on Thursday, May 21 with a government-issued I.D. to redeem your free pizza.

And while Sarah and John Connor fuel up on pizza before embarking on their odyssey to the film's opening day, everyone else can visit pizzahut.com to also join in on the excitement. Fans that just can't wait for the first midnight showing can view exclusive footage from Terminator Salvation on pizzahut.com from now until May 30. Additionally, visitors will have the opportunity to instantly win a number of great prizes, including a life-size Terminator T-600 model replica, Terminator Salvation branded Xbox consoles, Terminator Salvation video games, branded memorabilia, and more.

"We're excited to show our support of the human resistance by offering the Sarah and John Connors of the world free pizza," said Bob Kraut, marketing communications VP for Pizza Hut.

Pizzahut.com is the place to get ready for the return of Terminator, and this announcement is one more way Pizza Hut is supporting Terminator Salvation in its exclusive partnership with Warner Bros.
