Story Synopsis:
Keanu Reeves and Laurence Fishburne lead the fight to free humankind from The Matrix in this special effects-laden cyber-thriller. In the year 2070, a young computer operator (Reeves) discovers that through the use of artificial intelligence system (The Matrix), the world that he—and everyone else—knows is completely unreal. The Matrix taps into people’s minds and creates the illusion of a real world, when in reality they are just being controlled to see and feel what they are programmed to experience. But when Reeves meets Morpheus (Fishburne), he feels that Reeves is Neo, the one human who can override The Matrix and free humankind from this psychological and physical imprisonment. This special effects-laden film won four Academy® Awards: Film Editing, Visual Effects, Sound and Sound Effects Editing.
