Set in the 22nd century, The Matrix tells of a computer hacker named Neo (Keanu Reeves) who joins a group of underground insurgents fighting the vast and powerful computers who now rule the earth. The computers are powered by human beings. The world is a hoax, an elaborate deception spun by the all-powerful machines of artificial intelligence that control us. With mind blowing stunts and techno-slamming visuals and mega-kick action, the heroes lead the fight to free humankind in this award-winning cyber thriller which you can now watch again and again. Brothers Andy and Larry Wachowski co-write and direct this sci-fi action. With the aid of mysterious subversive Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne), and his acolyte Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss), Neo begins to fight back against the computerised hierarchy. With amazing special effects, the DVD has bonus features of mind-bending extras and the Making of The Matrix. If running on your PC you will also find the screenplay, storyboard and essays and an original theatrical website. Running time 2 hours and 10 minutes on colour DVD. Certificate 15.
