Line 10:
Neo is led to Morpheus, who teaches Neo the truth and recruits him to join the resistance movement against the machines happening both in the real world and in the Matrix itself. Because these "free minds" know that The Matrix is a false reality, they are no longer bound by inconvenient rules such as gravity while "jacked in". (There is one rule they cannot escape, however: if someone dies in the Matrix, their brain dies in the real world.) Their only opposing force are the Agents—programs who are able to bend the rules of the Matrix themselves—and their leader, Agent Smith. Neo eventually finds his place as a [[Because Destiny Says So|foretold hero]] and sets out to free mankind from The Matrix and win back the world, defeating Smith in the process of this self-discovery.
The second film – ''[[The Matrix Reloaded]]'' – delves into the history of the Matrix itself. The war between machines and the human resistance is heating up, and the heroes are searching for a series of wayward programs that can lead them to the source code of the Matrix and stop them forever. As Neo learns the true history of the Matrix, he starts to doubt himself and the plan. It is made even more complicated when Agent Smith returns as an anomaly working on his own terms and with new, very much virus-like, abilities. ''Reloaded'' is an action movie, to a much greater degree than the first film, which only really got busy in the third act. ''Reloaded'' also has much more of an [[Big Damn Movie|epic]] feel to it, as well; the budget was a lot larger than for the first film, and there are a lot more characters and locations on the screen.
The third film – ''[[The Matrix Revolutions]]'' – follows up directly from the previous film (as it was filmed simultaneously with ''Reloaded'') and depicts everything going to hell as the machines reach Zion, humanity's real-world stronghold. While Zion is under assault, Neo sets into motion a plan to confront Agent Smith and end the war altogether. This is generally considered to be the weakest of the three films, although it does still contain some worthwhile elements.
In August 2019, Warner Bros. announced that Keanu Reeves, Carrie-Anne Moss, and Lana Wachowski were making ''The Matrix Resurrections'', which will be released by December 2021.
