Synopsis:
In the near future, a young cyber hacker (Keanu Reeves) discovers that the seemingly normal reality is actually controlled by a computer artificial intelligence system called "The Matrix," with people being like animals herded by it. Reeves searches online for everything about "The Matrix." Later, under the guidance of a mysterious woman (Carrie-Anne Moss), he meets the leader of a hacking organization (Laurence Fishburne), and the three embark on a journey to fight against "The Matrix."
"Neo, have you ever had this kind of dream? Are you sure the things you believe are real? Can you wake up from such dreams? Can you tell the difference between dreams and the real world?"
Regardless of everything, Neo wants to find out the truth about "The Matrix" - he always hears whispers about it in his dreams; it's something mysterious and unknowable, and he can definitely feel its ominous control over him.
"What is 'The Matrix'?" Neo doesn't know, but he believes that Morpheus, a legendary figure depicted as a very dangerous person, can give him answers.
"No one can clearly explain what 'The Matrix' is; you have to see it for yourself."
Neo faces another question: Is he it? Of course, though he doesn't know why, Neo's answer is "no." Morpheus's friend Cypher agrees with his view. Others aren't so sure.
Besides, there are those who protect "The Matrix," led by the cold-blooded Smith, and they hold shocking secrets.
Neo, Morpheus, and Trinity must risk their lives to fight powerful enemies in pursuit of answers and self-discovery.
Every step they take is fraught with danger...
Synopsis:
A group of mutants born with special abilities, under the call of Professor X, formed a police team to protect humanity and the Earth. Unexpectedly, humans began to doubt the mutants, leading to mutual conflict...
X-Men Team: Cyclops (the captain of the X-Men, able to shoot deadly laser beams from both eyes), Jean Grey (has telepathic, telekinetic, and instant teleportation abilities), Storm (the deputy captain of the X-Men, with the ability to control the weather), and Rogue (with the unique ability to absorb others' memories and abilities through physical contact) are the core members of the X-Men.
Now, a dangerous character has joined the X-Men team - Wolverine (with super healing abilities and retractable adamantium claws on each wrist) is an irascible mutant almost out of control, putting the X-Men in internal crisis. The X-Men let him train new recruits and wanted to recruit him into their ranks. But is this possible? No one knows his background, and soon, it was discovered that most of his thoughts were manipulated by outsiders. Worse still, another mutant, Magneto, appeared. He can control magnetism and Earth's gravity. He was once exhibited as a monster by humans and suffered great humiliation. He hates humans, believing that mutants are superior to humans and should dominate them. He and Wolverine work together to achieve this goal by any means necessary. Can they be stopped in time? Will they lead to the common destruction of humanity and the X-Men?
And the X-Men, sworn to defend humanity, will discover that while they strive to protect humans, humans have also developed great fear towards them, causing tensions in their relationship. Moreover, the X-Men must face Wolverine's explosive temper and Magneto's indiscriminate killings, plunging the X-Men into multiple crises...
