Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003)

The Machines Will Rise.

ActionThrillerScience Fiction

It's been 10 years since John Connor saved Earth from Judgment Day, and he's now living under the radar, steering clear of using anything Skynet can trace. That is, until he encounters T-X, a robotic assassin ordered to finish what T-1000 started. Good thing Connor's former nemesis, the Terminator, is back to aid the now-adult Connor … just like he promised.

Is it in the song "American Pie" where Don McLean sings "Fire is the Devil's only friend"?
