The Matrix

When the legendary Morpheus offers him a choice between a red pill and a blue pill Neo discovers that the world he knows is a computer simulation built by machines harvesting human bodies for energy. The Wachowskis’ revolutionary film redefined action cinema created one of the 20th century’s defining visual languages and asked genuinely profound questions about reality consciousness and free will that film is still exploring today.
