The 1999 action/sci-fi film is the first installment in the Matrix film series. It stars Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne, Carrie-Anne Moss, Hugo Weaving, and Joe Pantoliano. The film depicts a dystopian future in which humanity is unknowingly trapped inside the Matrix, a simulated reality created by intelligent machines. The plot follows the computer hacker Neo, who is recruited by Morpheus into a rebellion against the machines.
The film will be shown on the makerspace’s 15-foot-wide movie screen with 500-watt surround-sound.
