In The Matrix, a
hacker known as Neo (Keanu Reeves) looks to find the meaning of something
called the Matrix. A hacker named Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) introduces
Neo to a man named Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne) who claims to have the answers
he seeks. When Neo finds those answers and learns that mankind is
enslaved to machines in a simulated reality, his world is flipped upside down
as he questions everything he has ever known.
He then learns that he’s supposed to play a pivotal role in helping to
save mankind from this disgraceful condition.
The Matrix
revolutionized modern
cinema and has influenced a countless number of films. It had visually
stunning action sequences that left viewers in awe during its box office run.
It was also a very great science fiction film. In addition to all
of this, The Matrix is a thinking
man’s blockbuster. It goes to a deeper level than just watching mankind
fight against machines. When the Wachowski brothers challenged their
viewers to define reality, cinema was forever changed by one of the most
innovative concepts to ever hit the big screen.
