    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The opening action scene took six months of training and four days to shoot.
    • Goofs
      When Neo opens fire from the helicopter, and the glass begins to break, none of the three agents is visible (though they should be) and the chair in which Morpheus should be sitting can be seen to be empty.
    • Quotes

      Morpheus : This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill - you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.

    • Crazy credits
      At the end of all the credits, the URL for the (now defunct) website of the film is given, www.whatisthematrix.com, along with a password, 'steak'. There's a 'secret' link on the page that requests a password.
    • Alternate versions
      Because 'The Matrix' was filmed in Australia the Region 4 (Australia) DVD release includes a more comprehensive Australian based list of credits.
    • Connections
      Edited into The Matrix: Path of Neo (2005)
    • Soundtracks
      Dissolved Girl
      Written by Robert Del Naja, Grant Marshall (as Grantley Marshall), Andrew Vowles (as Andrew Vowles),

    Ever felt like you're living a simulation?

    What if I told you the Matrix is not a Sci-Fi but a Documentary movie?
