An imaginative hybrid of action, kung fu and science fiction, The Matrix is a hyperkinetic, mind-bending and visionary spectacle.

In accepting the answer Morpheus provides, Neo is hurled into a futuristic world where old realities are shattered, and he must fight for his life, and the future of humanity, against a dangerous group of inhuman government agents.
