The Matrix is a 1999 science fiction-action film written and directed by Larry and Andy Wachowski and starring Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne, Carrie-Anne Moss, Joe Pantoliano, and Hugo Weaving. It was first released in the USA on March 31, 1999, and is the first installment in The Matrix series of films, comic books, video games, and animation.

The film describes a future in which reality perceived by humans is actually the Matrix: a simulated reality created by sentient machines in order to pacify and subdue the human population while their bodies' heat and electrical activity are used as an energy source. Upon learning this, computer programmer "Neo" is drawn into a rebellion against the machines, involving other people who have been freed from the "dream world" and into reality. The film contains many references to the cyberpunk and hacker subcultures; philosophical and religious ideas; and homages to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Hong Kong action cinema, Spaghetti Westerns, dystopian fiction, and Japanese animation.

Q. If a matrix is a 2x2 with the numbers being 1, -1, -1, 1(read left to right and top to bottom), what would the equation be for this matrix if it is raised to the nth power? This might be confusing, but if you could help me, that would be great. Thanks in advance!!

Unfortunately, no one can be told what The Matrix is. You have to see it for yourself. Do not try to bend the spoon — that's impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth: there is no spoon.
  • Whoa …
  • I know you're out there. I can feel you now. I know that you're afraid. You're afraid of us. You're afraid of change. I don't know the future. I didn't come here to tell you how this is going to end. I came here to tell you how it's going to begin. I'm going to hang up this phone, and then I'm going to show these people what you don't want them to see. I'm going to show them a world … without you. A world without rules and controls, without borders or boundaries; a world where anything is possible. Where we go from there is a choice I leave to you.
  • I have a better proposition. How about I give you the finger {Extends his middle finger as he says this} and you give me my phone call?
