Plot
Hacker Thomas Anderson, known by the alias "Neo", is pursuing information about "the Matrix". He is lured to a club where he meets Trinity, who tells him that a man named Morpheus has the answers to Neo's questions. At Neo's workplace, he is pursued by a team of Agents and police, led by Agent Smith. Morpheus attempts to guide Neo to safety by phone, seemingly able to predict their movements, but Neo surrenders rather than risk a dangerous escape. The Agents interrogate Neo about Morpheus, and when he refuses to comply his mouth suddenly fuses shut and the agents implant a robotic "bug" in his stomach. Neo wakes in bed, believing the experience to be a nightmare, but he is collected by Trinity and her allies to meet Morpheus, and they remove the bug, a tracking device, from him. Morpheus offers Neo a choice between a red and blue pill: red to learn the truth about the Matrix, and blue to forget everything and return to his normal life. Neo takes the red pill and reality begins to distort around him before he wakes up in a liquid-filled pod, among countless others, with various invasive cables connected to his body. Neo is ejected from the pod outside the facility and recovered aboard Morpheus's flying ship, the Nebuchadnezzar.

Neo's body is rehabilitated from a lifetime of inactivity and Morpheus then reveals to him the truth, that in the early 21st century, humans lost the war between themselves and their artificially intelligent machines. As a last resort, humans deliberately blackened the skies to limit the machines' access to solar energy and, in response, the machines built farms of humans to harvest their bioelectric power while keeping their minds pacified in the Matrix, a highly-advanced, shared simulated reality modeled on the world of 1999. The surviving free humans built a civilization underground, in the city of Zion. The free humans routinely hack into the Matrix to liberate captive humans, using their knowledge of its systems to grant themselves superhuman abilities to battle the Agents, sentient programs designed to eliminate threats, but Morpheus cautions Neo that dying in the Matrix also kills the physical body. Using their invasible implants, the freed humans are able to instantly download information such as vehicle operation and martial arts, and Neo's prowess and power during virtual training with Morpheus, convinces him that Neo is "the One," a human prophesied to end the Matrix and free all of humanity.

Neo, Morpheus, and his crew, enter the Matrix to visit the Oracle, a prophet who predicted the existence of the One. She implies Neo is not the one prophesied and warns that he will be forced to choose between his life and Morpheus's. Before they can leave the Matrix, they are ambushed by Agents following a tip-off by Cypher, a disgruntled crew member who wishes to escape the harsh struggles of the real world and return to the comforts of the Matrix. Believing in Neo's importance, Morpheus sacrifices himself to fight Smith, but he is easily overwhelmed and captured. In the real world, Cypher begins unplugging crew members, killing them, and he prepares to kill Neo until he is stopped by crew member Tank.

Smith interrogates Morpheus for the access codes to Zion's mainframe which would allow them to destroy it and allow Smith to end his program as he despises being around humans. Neo resolves to return to the Matrix for Morpheus, and Trinity insists she accompanies him. They rescue Morpheus and he and Trinity escape the Matrix, but Smith intercepts Neo and the pair fight, with Neo gradually becoming powerful enough to defeat and kill him. Even so, Smith reappears unharmed and pursues Neo alongside the other Agents, eventually ambushing and killing him. While a group of machines called Sentinels attach the Nebuchadnezzar, Trinity confesses to Neo's corpse that the Oracle prophesied she would fall in love with the One, and she loves Neo. Neo revives in the Matrix with newfound abilities to perceive and control the Matrix. He effortlessly destroys Smith and leaves the Matrix just as the ship's electromagnetic pulse disables the Sentinels. Sometime later, in the Matrix, Neo communicates with the system, promising he will show their prisoners "a world where anything is possible, before flying away.
