Neo: The Matrix Franchise (1999–2021)
Thomas Anderson, known as Neo, is a computer hacker living in a seemingly normal world, only to discover that reality is a sophisticated simulation controlled by sentient machines. Presented with the choice between the red pill (truth) and blue pill (ignorance) by Morpheus, Neo embraces his destiny as The One, a prophesied hero who can bend the rules of the Matrix and fight for humanity’s liberation. Alongside allies Morpheus and Trinity, Neo navigates a dystopian, high-stakes world where artificial intelligence dominates, blending philosophical depth with pulse-pounding action. Keanu Reeves embodies the journey of self-discovery, sacrifice, and empowerment in a story that remains eerily relevant to today’s technological age.
"You take the red pill - you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes". - Morpheus
