Neo (Keanu Reeves)’s Timeline and Summary

Neo (Keanu Reeves)’s Timeline and Summary

  • Neo wakes up in his room to find his computer has been hacked and the person hacking it essentially orders him to go to a party with these random people he's selling digital contraband to.
  • At the party he meets Trinity who tells him that Morpheus is looking for him.
  • At work the next day he gets a call from Morpheus but fear stops him from escaping the agents that are after him.
  • He is interrogated and bugged by the agents, but wakes up unsure if it was a dream.
  • He is picked up by Trinity, Apoc, and Switch who debug him and drive him to meet Morpheus.
  • Morpheus provides him with a choice: learn about the Matrix or go back to life as he knows it. He chooses to keep tumbling down the rabbit hole.
  • He is rescued from the human farm in the real world and rehabilitated. Then it's training time.
  • He continues learning about the Matrix and bonding with the crew until it's time to see the Oracle.
  • He goes to see the Oracle. She tells him he's not The One.
  • He and the others are ambushed but he is able to make it back to the real world with help from Morpheus and Tank.
  • He goes back in to save Morpheus bringing Trinity, lots of guns, a bomb, and some newfound belief in himself.
  • He kicks butt and saves Morpheus but isn't able to return to the real world before he is confronted by Agent Smith.
  • He fights, loses, wins, runs, dies, lives, kills, and returns (all in a day's work for The One).
  • Then he kisses Trinity and has some parting words before he flies away.
