Thomas A. Anderson (Keanu Reeves) is a man living two lives. By day, he is an average computer programmer – by night, a hacker known as Neo. Neo has always questioned his reality, but the truth is far beyond his imagination.
Neo finds himself targeted by the police when he is contacted by Morpheus, a legendary computer hacker branded a terrorist by the government.
Morpheus awakens Neo to the real world, a ravaged wasteland where humanity's minds are imprisoned within an artificial reality known as the Matrix. As a rebel against the machines, Neo must return to the Matrix and confront the agents: super-powerful computer programs devoted to snuffing out Neo and the entire human rebellion.
