A generic abandoned hotel building in a city. Some police officers corner
a woman but she fights her way out with superhuman abilities.
She is pursued by men in suits also with these abilities. She answers a ringing public
telephone and vanishes an instant before the Agents crash a truck into the booth.
Computer programmer Thomas Anderson is becoming tired of his job and the world in general,
he can tell that something is wrong, that thing being the mysterious “matrix” that he occasionally
reads about on hacking forums where he goes by the name Neo. Trinity contacts him and tells
him a man named Morpheus has answers. Morpheus calls Neo to help but some Agents arrest him.
They try and fail to get Neo to give up Morpheus. Neo later meets Morpheus and is offered a choice
between two pills, the red to learn the truth, the blue to return to normal. Neo chooses the red pill
and wakes up in a liquid pod surrounded by a vast futuristic farm of millions of other human pods.
The pod ejects him but his body is picked up by Morpheus’ ship, the Nebuchadnezzar.
Morpheus explains to Neo that the world he experienced was fake. In reality,
earth is run by machines who enslave all humans by plugging their minds into this
fake world known as the matrix, all for the purpose of using humans as energy.
Morpheus and his crew hack into the matrix to free and unplug special humans, bringing them to Zion,
the last safe city. The agents are computer programs created by the machines to fight
freed humans in the matrix. Morpheus believes that Neo is powerful human prophesied to end the war.
Morpheus and crew enter the matrix to visit a prophet called the oracle. She suggests to Neo
that he is not the One and warns that he will have to choose between Morpheus's life and his own.
A crew member named Cypher betrays Morpheus in exchange for a high quality but fake new
life in the matrix. Morpheus allows himself to be captured to save Neo. Cypher exits the
Matrix and murders several crew members but is killed by Tank before he can kill Neo.
In the matrix, the agents interrogate Morpheus to learn the codes to Zion’s mainframe computer.
Tank proposes killing Morpheus to prevent this, but Neo decided to return to the Matrix
to rescue him, as the oracle said. During the fight, Neo becomes as superhuman as the agents.
Morpheus and Trinity exit the matrix but Agent Smith kills Neo.
In the real world, machines named sentinels attack the Nebuchadnezzar. Trinity whispers to Neo’s real
world body that she was prophesied to fall in love with the One, so he therefore can’t be dead. She
kisses him and he revives in the matrix, with newfound power to control the Matrix around him.
He kills Agent Smith by fatally amending Smith’s coding, and exits the matrix in time
for Trinity to activate the Electro magnetic pulse that saves the ship from the sentinels.
Later, Neo speaks on the phone to the machines,
promising "a world where anything is possible". He flies away.
Six months after The Matrix. Neo and Trinity are in love. Captain Niobe
confirms a transmission from another ship that the machines will attack Zion within 72
hours. Commander Lock orders all ships to return to Zion to prepare for the onslaught,
but Morpheus asks one ship to remain to contact the Oracle. One of the crew, Bane,
encounters Agent Smith who reveals that he is now disconnected from the matrix after Neo altered his
code in the last film, so he leaves the matrix via the phone and enters Bane’s real body.
Neo fights the Oracle’s bodyguard Seraph. She explains that technically she is a computer
program and therefore part of the matrix, so Neo must decide if he can trust her. She says
that the Keymaker will lead him to the source of the matrix, then she leaves. Smith appears
and explains the he is now able to copy-paste himself onto other people, and they fight.
Neo, Morpheus, and Trinity visit the a rogue program called the Merovingian,
who is imprisoning the Keymaker,
but his wife Persophone secretly leads them to him as revenge for the Merovingian’s infidelity.
Neo, Morpheus, Trinity, and the keymaker escape the merovingian’s crew and some agents..
Neo reaches the Source while other human crews attempt to destroy some power plants
to stop a security system being triggered, allowing Neo to enter a door to the Source.
Haunted by a vision of Trinity's death, Neo asks her to remain on the Nebuchadnezzar.
One of the crews is destroyed by a sentinel but Trinity completes their mission,
but she is cornered by an agent. The keymaker manages to open the door to
the source but Agent Smith appears and shoots him.
Neo meets a program called the Architect, the creator of the Matrix. He explains that Neo is
actually a program, and the matrix is now in its sixth iteration. Neo is meant to stop the Matrix's
system crash that recurs due to the concept of human choice within it. As with the five previous
Ones, Neo has a choice: either return to the Source to reboot the Matrix and pick survivors to
repopulate the soon-to-be-destroyed Zion, as his predecessors all did, or cause the Matrix to crash
and kill everyone connected to it, which would mean humanity's extinction when Zion is destroyed.
Neo instead tried to save Trinity, risking the survival of the human race.
Trinity is shot but Neo catches her from falling, then removes the bullet and saves
her. They return to the matrix and the Nebuchadnezzar is destroyed by sentinels,
but Neo somehow manages to destroy the sentinel with his mind. He falls into a coma. They are
picked up by another ship. Its captain reveals the other ships were wiped out
when someone activated an EMP too early, and that the only survivor was Bane.
Immediately after Matrix Reloaded. In the real world, Neo and Bane lie unconscious on
a ship. In the matrix, Neo is trapped in a subway station. A family of programs there
explain that it’s a middle ground between the matrix and the machine city.
A program loyal to the merovingian blocks Neo from boarding a train.
Seraph tells Morpheus and Trinity about Neo, so they force the merovingian to release him.
Neo gets visions of the machine city. The oracle tells him that Agent Smith plans
to destroy the matrix and the real world. Neo leaves and several Agent Smiths assimilate her.
In the real world, the nebuchadnezzar and Hammer ships find Niobe’s ship,
the logos. Bane claims he doesn’t remember the massacre that he survived. Niobe gives Neo her
ship so he and Trinity can travel to the machine city. Bane stows away and they fight, with Neo
realising that Bane has been assimilated by Smith so kills him, but not before Bane blinds Neo.
Meanwhile, Zion is overrun by sentinels. A wounded captain ordered the gate to open
to allow Niobe and Morpheus in so they can activate their EMP to disable the sentinels,
but also Zion’s defences. The humans are convinced that the next defence will be their last stand.
Near the Machine City, the Logos is bombarded by thousands of missiles, causing it to crash,
fatally wounding Trinity. Neo encounters Deus Ex Machina, the machine leader. Neo
explains Smith’s plans, so Deus Ex agrees to peace with Zion if Neo can defeat Smith.
Neo confronts the oracle version of Smith who claims to have forseen victory.
Neo realises he can’t win so allows himself to be assimilated,
which allows Deus Ex to send a deletion command through Neo’s body to delete Smith.
The Sentinels withdraw from Zion. Neo’s body is carried away by the machines.
The matrix gets rebooted. In a park, they agree that peace will only last as long as
it can and any human who wants to leave the matrix can. The oracle tells Sati,
the little girl from the subway program family, that she believes they’ll see Neo again.
The oracle claims that she didn’t foresee this scenario, but she believed.
