There are two realities: one that consists of the life we live every day - and one that lies behind it. One is a dream. The other is The Matrix. "Have you ever had a dream, Neo, that you were so sure was real. What Neo (Keanu Reeves) is desperately seeking the truth about The Matrix - something he's heard of only in whispers - something mysterious and unknown - something, Neo is certain, that has unimaginable and sinister control over his life". What is The Matrix? Neo believes that Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne), a person he knows only through legend, an elusive figure considered to be the most dangerous man alive, can give him the answer.
