Neo a.k.a. Thomas Anderson, is a computer programmer by day and illegal hacker by night. He's recently been contacted by a mysterious woman named Trinity who informs him of something called "The Matrix," a mysterious entity of which he's vaguely familiar. That action leads to her near arrest by Agent Smith and his government type thugs but she manages to escape. Now that they know about Neo, however, Smith and his team are hot on his trail. To his aide comes Morpheus, an enigmatic cyber terrorist who's number one on Smith's most wanted list. Morpheus gets him out, but then drops a bombshell into Neo's world. It turns out that everything Neo has experienced in his life has just been an illusion created by the Matrix, a device employed by a powerful and intelligent, but mechanized and artificial life form that's using enslaved, but unaware humans as its power source.
Joining Morpheus and his small team, which includes Trinity, Cypher and a handful of other characters, Neo learns that he may be the chosen one to overthrow the artificial life form. After Morpheus trains Neo of the ways of the Matrix, he and the rest of the team return to that artificial, dreamlike world where dying in a battle with Agent Smith and his men means certain death back in the real, outside world.
In a world where machines derive their power from unconscious human slaves who exist in a fabricated reality that seems normal to them, a growing number of freed slaves -including Councillor Hamman and Commander Lock hope to overthrow their former machine-based oppressors.
Things aren't looking good, however, as the machine world has sent a quarter of a million robotic sentinels to find the escapees and destroy them and their world that's known as Zion. Accordingly, Lock isn't happy that the crew of the Nebuchadnezzar - consisting of leader Morpheus, now all-powerful student Neo, ally Trinity and pilot Link has been following their own course of action, including visiting the Matrix.
As they and the rest of the humans prepare for battle, Neo must also contend with Agent Smith, the anthropomorphic physical representation of the machine world who has similarly managed to escape the Matrix and wants his revenge on "The One."
After an encounter with him and his many duplicates, Neo visits the Oracle, who informs him that they'll need to find the Key Maker if they want to succeed. Unfortunately, he's been kidnapped by the powerful Merovingian and his goons.
From that point on, and with the help of Lock's lover, Niobe, and Merovingian's wife, Persephone, Neo and his allies set out to do what they can to stop the machines and save humanity.
In a world where machines derive their power from unconscious human slaves who exist in a fabricated reality that seems normal to them, a rebellious set of escaped humans are preparing to make one last stand against the machines and their robotic sentinels.
Various members of the group, including Morpheus and Trinity, want to know how their chosen leader, Neo, managed to enter the fabricated Matrix without being directly plugged into it. At the same time, they're wary of Bane, a crewmember who ended up simultaneously unconscious with Neo.
Looking for answers, Morpheus and Trinity meet with the all-knowing Oracle who sends them, along with her bodyguard, Seraph, to find Neo's imagined self who's trapped in a purgatory of sorts where the Trainman won't let him reenter the Matrix. It turns out the powerful Merovingian has cast Neo there for all eternity.
The others end up freeing him, however, and soon prepare for the pending onslaught of robotic sentinels. As Captain Mifune prepares the ground forces that include Zee, The Kid and many others, and Morpheus, his former lover, Niobe, Trinity and Link take to the air, Neo sets out to uncover the secrets behind the Matrix.
While doing so, he must also contend with Agent Smith, the anthropomorphic physical representation of the machine world who has similarly managed to escape the Matrix, wants his revenge on "The One," and is growing more powerful every day.
