The Matrix Reloaded: Synopsis
Zion, mankind's last free city, has been located by the machines. With 250,000 sentinels only hours away, Zion's military leaders scramble all hovercrafts and personnel to defend the city and its people. Believing mankind's salvation lies not with a military action, but with the Oracle's prophecy, Morpheus pleads for time and resources to allow the Oracle to contact Neo. While Neo has gained greater control over his abilities in the Matrix, he is haunted by horrifying visions of death that threaten to paralyze him in the moment of truth. With new information from the Oracle, Neo, Trinity, and Morpheus take the fight into the Matrix in hopes of saving Zion, and ending the machine's enslavement of humanity once and for all. Reloaded is the first half of a 4.5 hour movie; Revolutions completes it.

Did You Know?
A reason for the 'sixth' One: In the TV show, 'The Prisoner', which contains similar themes to 'Matrix', the main
character who seeks to be free from the hidden system of technological control which imprisons him is called 'No. 6'. But in the final
episode, the ever-changing 'No. 2' who answers No. 6's repeated question, 'Who is No. 1?' puts the emphasis where it belongs for the first
time: 'YOU ARE, No. 6.' (As opposed to 'You are No 6.') Indeed, No. 6 takes the monkey mask off the figure in the No. 1 chair and sees
himself. Like Neo, the Prisoner's answer to his quest for freedom has always been within himself, as the Oracle so often tells Neo. Thus,
Neo = No. 6, the sixth No. 1, but really, the first One.
