“Doesn’t just raise the bar on sci-fi and action films, it rips the sucker off and sends it spiraling into the sun.” – Marc Savlov, Austin Chronicle

Whoa! Keanu Reeves is a computer hacker named Neo, and he’s looking for answers to some very important questions, like: Who is Morpheus? What is the Matrix? And how exactly did he learn kung-fu? Game on! Cerebrally-stimulating sci-fi meets butt-kicking action flick in one of the most influential genre films of all time, adorned with groundbreaking special effects and wrapped in patent leather fetish-wear. A movie that changed the very way we view reality, The Matrix still has the power to open our minds … and kick us through a brick wall! Also starring Laurence Fishburne, Carrie-Anne Moss and Hugo Weaving. (Dir. by Lana Wachowski & Lilly Wachowski, 1999, USA, 140 mins., Rated R)
