Thomas A. Anderson is a man living two lives. By day he is an average
computer programmer and by night a hacker known as Neo. Neo has always
questioned his reality, but the truth is far beyond his imagination. Neo
finds himself targeted by the police when he is contacted by Morpheus, a
legendary computer hacker branded a terrorist by the government.
Morpheus awakens Neo to the real world, a ravaged wasteland where most
of humanity have been captured by a race of machines that live off of
the humans' body heat and electrochemical energy and who imprison their
minds within an artificial reality known as the Matrix. As a rebel
against the machines, Neo must return to the Matrix and confront the
agents: super-powerful computer programs devoted to snuffing out Neo and
the entire human rebellion. Written by

Right there with Seven
and Silence of the Lambs for me. I love this film, and rate it a notch
above some of the other great action films of our time (i.e.,
Terminator, Predator) because it has a really well thought out (although
moderately unbelievable) story line. A lot of thought provoking
material, and some interesting subtleties. I've seen it 10 times (I
don't usually watch a movie more than once), and I'll watch it a few
more. Enjoy!
