The Matrix, without a doubt, is one of the most iconic sci-fi films one can watch. A computer hacker, Neo comes into contact with a group of individuals who inform him that everything he sees is a lie created by advanced machines to subjugate human beings. Subsequently, Neo is given the choice of remaining in his delusion or fighting with the resistance for the cause of liberation.

While in the Matrix, Neo did a bit of digging and finally learned the reasons for his being and the machines' ultimate agenda. He was taught the art of controlling the very code that makes the world of the Matrix coherent and learned to exercise supremacy in unimaginable ways. The film's lingering appeal can be attributed to its imaginative yet highly philosophical contextualization and brisk action sequences, thus making it not only a cult classic but also a point of reference in science fiction filmmaking.
