Have you ever had a dream that you were so sure was real? What if you couldn't awaken? How would you know the difference between dream and reality?

Set in the 22nd century, The Matrix tells the story of a computer hacker who joins a group of underground insurgents fighting the vast and powerful computers who now rule the earth. When a beautiful stranger leads computer hacker Neo to a forbidding underworld, he discovers a shocking truth: the life he knows is the elaborate deception of an evil cyber-intelligence. Neo joins legendary and dangerous rebel warrior Morpheus in the battle to destroy the illusion enslaving humanity.
