In the near future, a computer hacker named Neo discovers that all life on Earth may be nothing more than an elaborate facade created by a malevolent cyber-intelligence, for the purpose of placating us while our life essence is "farmed" to fuel the Matrix's campaign of domination in the "real" world. He joins like-minded Rebel warriors Morpheus and Trinity in their struggle to overthrow the Matrix.
Keanu Reeves - NEO
Keanu, the main character, is a computer hacker in search of the answer to his question - "What is the Matrix?". However, when he gets his answer, he also finds out more than he expected. After being discovered by Morpheus, he is transported into the real world where he becomes 'The One' and receives powers beyond his belief!
Keanu is greatly known for his star role in "SPEED" along side Sandra Bullock. He has also featured in "MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING" with Emma Thompson, Denzel Washington, Micheal Keaton and Kenneth Branagh.
