English Summary:

The Matrix is a 1999 science fiction action film written and directed by the Wachowskis.^[a] It stars Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne, Carrie-Anne Moss, Hugo Weaving, and Joe Pantoliano and is the first installment in the Matrix franchise. It depicts a dystopian future in which humanity is unknowingly trapped inside a simulated reality, the Matrix, created by intelligent machines to distract humans while using their bodies as an energy source. When computer programmer Thomas Anderson, under the hacker alias "Neo", uncovers the truth, he "is drawn into a rebellion against the machines"^[5] along with other people who have been freed from the Matrix.

In an abandoned hotel, a woman (later revealed to be Trinity) is cornered by a police squad but quickly overpowers them with superhuman abilities. She flees, pursued by the police and a group of mysterious suited Agents capable of similar superhuman feats. She answers a ringing public telephone and vanishes.

Computer programmer Thomas Anderson, known in the hacking scene by his alias "Neo", feels something is wrong with the world and is puzzled by repeated online encounters with the phrase "the Matrix." Trinity contacts him and tells him a man named Morpheus has the answers he seeks. The Agents, led by Agent Smith, apprehend Neo and threaten him into helping them capture the "terrorist" Morpheus. Undeterred, Neo later meets Morpheus, who offers him a choice between two pills; red to show him the truth about the Matrix, and blue to return him to his former life. After Neo swallows the red pill, his reality disintegrates, and he awakens in a liquid-filled pod among countless others attached to an elaborate electrical system. He is retrieved and brought aboard Morpheus' hovercraft, the Nebuchadnezzar.

As Neo recuperates from a lifetime of physical inactivity in the pod, Morpheus explains the truth. In the early 21st century, there was a war between humans and intelligent machines. When humans blocked the machines' access to solar energy, the machines responded by harvesting the humans' bioelectric power, keeping them pacified in the Matrix, a shared simulated reality modeled after the world as it was at the end of the 20th century. While the machines have taken over the world, the city of Zion still remains as the last refuge of free humans. Morpheus and his crew are a group of rebels who hack into the Matrix to "unplug" enslaved humans and recruit them; their understanding of the Matrix's simulated nature enables them to bend its physical laws, granting them superhuman abilities. Morpheus warns Neo that death within the Matrix also kills the physical body, and that the Agents he met are powerful sentient computer programs that eliminate threats to the system, while machines called Sentinels search to destroy humans in the real world. Neo's prowess during virtual combat training lends credibility to Morpheus's belief that Neo is "the One", an especially powerful human prophesied to free humanity and end the war.

Hungarian Summary:

Két valóság létezik. Az egyik mindennapi életünk - a másik az, ami mögötte van. Az egyik álom. A másik a mátrix. Neo kétségbeesetten kutatja az igazságot a mátrixról. Erről a titkozatos és ismeretlen valamiről Neo csak mendemondákból hallott - de biztos benne, hogy ez az elképzelhetetlen dolog rosszindulatú, és titokban irányítja az életét. Neo úgy véli, Morpheus, ez a legendák övezte férfi, akit a világ legveszélyesebb emberének tartanak, megmutathatja neki az igazságot. Egy éjszaka Neo találkozik egy gyönyörű ismeretlennel, Trinityvel, aki elvezeti őt egy másik világba, ahol Neo találkozik Morpheusszal és személyesen megtapasztalja az igazságot a mátrixról. Neónak egy másik kérdésre is választ kell találnia, amely ugyanolyan mellbevágó, mint az első. Vajon ő a Kiválasztott?

Cast / Szereplők:

• Keanu Reeves as Neo:
  A computer programmer, born Thomas A. Anderson, who moonlights as a hacker named Neo. Reeves described his character as someone who felt that something was wrong, and was searching for Morpheus and the truth to break free.^[14] Will Smith turned down the role of Neo to make Wild Wild West, because of skepticism over the film's ambitious bullet time special effects.^[15] He later stated he was "not mature enough as an actor" at that time,^[15] and that if given the role, he "would have messed it up".^[16][17] Nicolas Cage also turned down the part because of "family obligations".^[18] Warner Bros. sought Brad Pitt or Val Kilmer for the role. When both declined, the studio pushed for Reeves, who won the role over Johnny Depp, the Wachowskis' first choice.^[19]
• Laurence Fishburne as Morpheus:
  A human freed from the Matrix, captain of the Nebuchadnezzar. Fishburne stated that once he read the script, he did not understand why other people found it confusing. However, he had a doubt if the movie would ever be made, because it was "so smart".^[14] The Wachowskis instructed Fishburne to base his performance on the character Morpheus in Neil Gaiman's Sandman comics.^[20] Gary Oldman, Samuel L. Jackson, and Val Kilmer were also considered for the part.^[19] Despite widespread rumors, Sean Connery was offered the role of the Architect in the sequels, not that of Morpheus.^[21]
• Carrie-Anne Moss as Trinity:
  Freed by Morpheus, crewmember of the Nebuchadnezzar, Neo's romantic interest. After reading the script, Moss stated that at first, she did not believe she had to do the extreme acrobatic actions as described in the script. She also doubted how the Wachowskis would get to direct a movie with a budget so large, but after spending an hour with them going through the storyboard, she understood why some people would trust them.^[14] Moss mentioned that she underwent a three-hour physical test during casting, so she knew what to expect subsequently.^[22] The role made Moss, who later said that "I had no career before. None."^[23] Janet Jackson was initially approached for the role but scheduling conflicts prevented her from accepting it.^[24][25] In an interview, she stated that turning down the role was difficult for her, so she later referenced The Matrix in the 'Intro' and 'Outro' interludes on her tenth studio album Discipline.^[26]
• Hugo Weaving as Agent Smith:
  A sentient "Agent" program of the Matrix whose purpose is to destroy Zion and stop humans from getting out of the Matrix. Unlike other agents, he has ambitions to free himself from his duties. Weaving stated that the character was enjoyable to play because it amused him. He developed a neutral accent but with more specific character for the role. He wanted Smith to sound neither robotic nor human, and also said that the Wachowskis' voices had influenced his voice in the film. When filming began, Weaving mentioned that he was excited to be a part of something that would extend him.^[27] Jean Reno was offered the role, but declined, unwilling to move to Australia for the production.^[28]
• Joe Pantoliano as Cypher:
  Another human freed by Morpheus, but one who regrets taking the red pill and seeks to be returned to the Matrix, ultimately betraying the rebels to Agent Smith. Pantoliano had worked with the Wachowskis prior to appearing in The Matrix, starring in their 1996 film Bound.
