On May 21, Sarah and John Connors worldwide can pick up a free pizza at Pizza
Hut

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.  Fans can
also watch movie trailers, download wallpapers, and of course, order all their
favorites from Pizza Hut.     

"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.  "These iconic heroes may not have pizza in
2018, but they do today, as Pizza Hut wishes them luck in their quest to save
mankind."    

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. Pictures.  Earlier this month,
Pizza Hut launched an online promotion with Warner Bros. Pictures to support
the Thursday, May 21 release of Terminator Salvation where the company
selected one lucky fan and a friend to attend the World Premiere in Hollywood.
 Today, the folks at Pizza Hut have one more thing to be excited about as the
company continues to advance its leadership position in the digital space.

It's time to fight back, so get ready for the fight with your free pizza from
Pizza Hut.
