A provocative action thriller that explores the notion that everything we think and believe to be real, is actually an electronically controlled dream world. Set in a visually stunning futuristic world, a young man named Neo learns the disturbing truth and is pursued by a ruthless team of "agents". Every move, every second, every thought becomes a fight to stay alive, escape the matrix and free humankind. It is a rousing action-thriller with martial-arts sequences that break new ground in American movie making. It will leave you breathless!

Quotations:
Neo: "What is the Matrix?"
Morpheus: "Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Matrix is. You have to see it for yourself."
Neo: "What are you trying to tell me? That I can dodge bullets?"
Morpheus: "No, Neo. I'm trying to tell you that when you're ready, you won't have to."
Tank: "So what do you need? Besides a miracle."
Neo: " Guns. Lots of guns!"
Verdicts:
"The movie is kinetic, atmospheric, visually stunning, and mind-bending."
-- James Berardinelli, JAMES BERARDINELLI'S REELVIEWS
"The Matrix serves up so much visual wizardry and thought-provoking ideas that even the inevitable Silver touch -- a finale with more bullets than the opening of Saving Private Ryan -- can't destroy the magic."
-- Sean Means, FILM.COM
