Synopsis

The highly anticipated follow up to the smash hit THE MATRIX, THE MATRIX RELOADED takes you back to the world where freedom fighters Neo (Keanu Reeves), Trinity (Carrie Ann Moss) and Morpheus (Lawrence Fishburne) continue to lead the revolt against the Machine Army, unleashing their arsenal of extraordinary skills and weaponry against the systematic forces of repression and exploitation. In their quest to save the human race from extinction, they gain greater insight into the construct of The Matrix and Neo's pivotal role in the fate of mankind.

Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne, Carrie-Anne Moss and Hugo Weaving reprise their roles from THE MATRIX, the acclaimed action thriller that won four Academy Awards, accumulated the biggest box office in Warner Bros.
