The Matrix was a science fiction film released in 1999 by the Wachowski Brothers. It is notable for its cool special effects and total disregard of the way energy works. It is set some time in the 22nd century, the exact date being unknown, in a post-apocalyptic world. At some prior date, Humans and Machines fought a war, and the humans decided it was a good idea to block out the sun to deprive the machines of their solar power source. The pissed off machines retaliated by putting all of humanity in tubes, using them as energy, and making them think they're in the 1990's. A few escaped, mounted a resistance, and thus begins the film.

According to legend, two sequels were released in 2003. However, they sucked so much that they were cast into a bottomless pit, which was buried with lava, sand, rocks, steel, more rocks, more lava, more sand, dirt, and more rocks for good measure, and they were never spoken of again.
