PSP Movies - What is the Matrix? That is the question - it's the answer that drives us. Neo (Keannu Reeves) is a hacker, searching for something. That something finds him in the form of Morpheus (Lawrence Fishburne), who brings Neo into the "real world" where he learns just how deep the rabbit hole goes. Machines have taken control by creating a false reality, lulling humans into a dreamlike state so they can be used as batteries. One human city, Zion, remains, where what's left of mankind gathers on the verge of extinction. The ultra-hip, post-apocalyptic world created by the Wachowski Brothers made The Matrix one of Hollywood's landmark achievements, and its revolutionary special effects set new standards for cinematic wizardry and blew the collective mind of audiences around the world.
