The Matrix (1999),
Intense action, groundbreaking cinematography, profound philosophical musing, and Keanu Reeves, what more could you possibly want in a film. Computer programmer Thomas Anderson (Reeves), hacker name ‘Neo’, is going through a bit of an existential crisis, and his online life frequently brings up references to ‘ The Matrix’. As he searches for answers, Neo is introduced to a mysterious man named Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne), who offers him a choice: take the blue pill, you wake up in your bed and the story ends; or, take the red pill and stay in Wonderland to see how deep the rabbit-hole goes. But what is The Matrix? Guess you’ll have to take that red pill.
