The machines take their energy source from the body heat of humans and from electrical activity. This system is the Matrix. The main character is a computer programmer named Neo (played by Keanu Reeves). After he learns about how machines are taking advantage of and using humans, he decides to take action. The movie shows how he tries to free people from their imprisonment 8 in the Matrix. He starts a rebellion against the machines. He teams up with other people who have been freed from the "dream world" and are back in reality.
