The Matrix 
Main Actor(s)/Actresses: Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburn, and Carrie-Ann Moss
Memorable supporting cast: Hugo Weaving
Plot: Thomas Anderson is a computer programmer who is a hacker in his spare time. He is known as Neo. He wants to know the meaning of the Matrix. Through the planning of Morpheus, Mr. Anderson meets Morpheus’ group and is given a choice to live as he is now or to face the real world of the Matrix. He takes a pill that shows him the Matrix… and that he is just a ‘battery’ to power it. Morpheus develops Neo to show him that he is the ‘One’ to battle the agents and end the Matrix.
Extra thoughts: This film is one of my favorites. The plot is excellent and the special effects and fighting are the best. If you love the computer age you will love this movie. Also look for the additional films in the Matrix series.
