Keanu Reeves
VIDEO CLIP:
RealMedia: The Matrix


The Matrix

Computer whizz Neo finds out he and the rest of mankind are living in a fantasy world run by brain-draining computers.

Armed with a mobile phone, some nifty Kung Fu moves, and a pair of cool shades he sets out to topple the PC regime.

The film was a special effects masterpiece, introducing to the mainstream the concept of 'bullet-time' - a complex 3D slow-motion effect normally only found in computer games.
