The Matrix: Synopsis
In the near future, Computer hacker Neo is contacted by underground freedom fighters who explain that reality as he understands it
is actually a complex computer simulation called the Matrix. Created by a malevolent Artificial Intelligence, the Matrix hides the
truth from humanity, allowing them to live a convincing, simulated life in 1999 while machines grow and harvest people to use as an
ongoing energy source. The leader of the freedom fighters, Morpheus, believes Neo is "The One" who will lead humanity to freedom and
overthrow the machines. Together with Trinity, Neo and Morpheus fight against the machine's enslavement of humanity as Neo begins to
believe and accept his role as "The One".
