This The Matrix Universe Timeline lists all Matrix films and animated shorts chronologically. The original Matrix film follows Keanu Reeves as Thomas "Neo" Anderson, a computer hacker. Neo begins to notice that not everything in his world is as it appears when he is abruptly apprehended by mysterious agents who demand that Neo lead them to the location of a terrorist known as Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne). Conversely, Morpheus breaks Neo out and offers him a choice: take the blue pill and wake up in your bed tomorrow believing it was all a dream, or take the red pill and learn the truth.
