Many films can be impressive and have a great influence. But only a very few manage to shape a genre as much as The Matrix. You can watch this absolutely exceptional film full of sci-fi action on TV tonight – and you shouldn’t miss it.
What is The Matrix, the outstanding sci-fi cult film, about?
Nothing is as it seems: The hacker Neo (Keanu Reeves) has to realize that his life is a lie. And what a lie! The reality in which we live is only an illusion, while in fact we are kept in incubators by intelligent machines that profit from the energy of human bodies.
Not only does this sound gloomy, it is. But fortunately there are some people who free from the computer simulation called Matrix and they are planning a counterattack. Neo is to be the chosen one and lead them. But the machines are now far superior to humanity.

Matrix is one of the most influential sci-fi films ever and is always worth watching
Anyone who sees the film for the first time will experience a real awakening. Idea that we could actually only live in a simulationis raised from a mere thought experiment to reality. With all the consequences that such a thing could bring with it.
But not only in terms of content, but Matrix also knows how to inspire cinematicallyThe sci-fi blockbuster is bursting with impressive images and also gave modern cinema the bullet time effect. It’s no wonder that the groundbreaking action has become so etched in our cultural memory.
What is much more surprising is that now there will even be a fifth partThe Matrix trilogy was actually self-contained after three parts, and then the fourth part, called Resurrections, deconstructed the whole thing. But Matrix 5 wants to do everything differently.
