The Matrix: Synopsis
In the near future, Computer hacker Neo is contacted by underground freedom fighters who explain that reality as he understands it
is actually a complex computer simulation called the Matrix. Created by a malevolent Artificial Intelligence, the Matrix hides the
truth from humanity, allowing them to live a convincing, simulated life in 1999 while machines grow and harvest people to use as an
ongoing energy source. The leader of the freedom fighters, Morpheus, believes Neo is "The One" who will lead humanity to freedom and
overthrow the machines. Together with Trinity, Neo and Morpheus fight against the machine's enslavement of humanity as Neo begins to
believe and accept his role as "The One".

Did You Know?
'The Surrender of Breda', a famous classical painting by Spanish painter, Diego Velázquez, appears at a critical
juncture of 'Reloaded'. The painting shows the general of the surrendering city giving the keys to the city to the conquering Spanish
general during the Spanish-Dutch war in the 17th century. And when does it appear? The painting appears only briefly while the
Keymaker is running away from the Twins along a very long corridor with doors, followed by Morpheus and Trinity...in the building
where the keymaker is kept and before he gives his own key to Neo to enter the Source, of course.
