A by original trilogy director Lana Wachowski, leaving fans puzzled as to where the franchise will go next.
The revolutionary film series used cutting edge effects to portray the journey of Neo (Keanu Reeves) a seemingly ordinary man who lives a seemingly ordinary life until he is approached by a criminal named Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne) and his associate Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss).
From there, Neo discovered that not only did he live in a virtual world created by Machines in a future where humans are at threat of extinction, but he could be The One to save them.
