The Matrix

The Matrix is the story of a man by Thomas A. Anderson, who is living two lives. By day he is an average computer programmer and by night a malevolent hacker known as Neo. 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, and tells him that it is not 1999, but closer to 2199, and that humanity is fighting a war against the machines created in the early 21st century. The sky is covered by thick black clouds created by the humans in an attempt to cut off the machine's solar power. The machines responded by using human beings as their energy source in conjunction with nuclear fusion, later growing countless people in pods and harvesting their bioelectrical energy and body heat. The world in which Neo grew up was actually the Matrix, a simulated reality of the world set in 1999, developed by the machines in order to keep the human captives docile.
Morpheus and his crew belong to a group of  rebels who "unplug" others from the Matrix and recruit them to their resistance against the machines. They are able to use their understanding of the Matrix's nature to bend the simulation's laws of physics, giving them superhuman abilities within the virtual world. Morpheus believes that Neo is "the One," a man prophesied to end the war through his limitless control over the Matrix.  Neo later finds himself running through a city toward another telephone exit,(his way to get back to the real word) well being pursued by the Agents while "sentinel" machines converge on the Nebuchadnezzar in the real world. Neo reaches an exit, but Smith (Neo's opposite inside of the Matrix)  is already waiting and shoots him. In the real world, Trinity whispers to Neo what the Oracle had told her: that she would fall in love with "the One". She refuses to accept Neo's  death and kisses him. Neo's heart starts to beats again, and within the Matrix, he revives; the Agents shoot at him, but he raises his palm and the bullets stop in mid-air. Neo now "sees" the lines of green computer code that comprise the Matrix. Agent Smith makes a final attempt to kill him, but his punches are effortlessly blocked, and Neo destroys him. The other two Agents flee, and Neo returns to the real world in time for the ship's EMP weapon to destroy the sentinels that had already breached the craft's hull. ( this is pretty much how the first Matrix ends)
