Plot: What if the Prophecy is true?What if tomorrow this war could be over? Isn’t that worth fighting for? Isn’t that worth dying for? Thomas “Neo” Anderson (KEANU REEVES) made a costly decision when he chose to ask the question that Morpheus (LAURENCE FISHBURNE) and Trinity (CARRIE-ANNE MOSS) had asked before him. To seek and accept the truth. To free his mind from the Matrix. Everything begins with choice. Now, in the second chapter of the Matrix trilogy, Neo assumes greater command of his extraordinary powers as Zion falls under siege to the Machine Army.
