The Matrix (1999)

The Matrix is a 1999 action-sci-fi-thriller film directed by Lana and Lilly Wachowski. It stars Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne, Carrie Anne-Moss, Joe Pantoliano, Hugo Weaving, and Gloria Foster. The movie follows a depressed cubicle worker and computer hacker named Neo (Keanu Reeves) as he discovers that he is actually inside of the Matrix, a complex computer program that mirrors a dull and dark version of real life. Neo meets Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne), Trinity (Carrie Anne-Moss), and their gang, who switch in and out of the real world. When Neo gets to the real world, evil "agents" try to hunt him down.
