At the beginning of 1999's "Matrix", Keanu Reeves was Thomas A. Anderson, a computer programmer who, at night, turned into a "hacker" called Neo. He was contacted by rebels, took a red pill and discovered that the world he thought he lived in was an illusion and that humans were mere cattle to generate energy for the machines that take over the world. Thus, the hero Neo was born. Two films and various incidents followed. In the fourth film of the saga, signed only by Lana Wachowski, unlike the three previous ones, made with her sister Lily, Keanu's character returned, 20 years after what happened in "The Matrix Revolutions", to live as Anderson in San Francisco, without remembering what happened to him before. Some faces from the past cross his path again, even if he doesn't recognise them, and he has to take a red pill once more to see reality as it is and not as they try to make it seem.
