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?
TV Repair Shop Scene from 'The Matrix' - 'The building this was shot in was allegedly haunted by a man who had shot
himself in the basement...there was one take in which a shadowy figure could be seen lurking behind Trinity as she talked on the phone.
It was a frightening night at dailies when that came up on screen. Larry and Andy wanted to use it in the film but the lawyers couldn't
reach the spirit in time to get legal clearance.'
- Phil Oosterhouse in 'The Matrix Shooting Script' |
