Shot back-to-back with
The Matrix Reloaded, the third and final installment of
Andy Wachowski and
Larry Wachowski's
sci-fi action saga picks up where the second film left off.
Neo (
Keanu Reeves) remains unconscious in the real world, caught in a mysterious subway station that lies between the machine world and the Matrix, and
Bane (
Ian Bliss) is still a conduit for
Agent Smith (
Hugo Weaving), who continues to grow out of control, threatening to destroy both worlds. Meanwhile, as the sentinels get closer and closer to Zion, the citizens of the earth's last inhabited city prepare for the inevitable onslaught. By bargaining with
The Merovingian (
Lambert Wilson),
Trinity (
Carrie-Anne Moss) and
Morpheus (
Laurence Fishburne) are able to free
Neo who, after meeting with
The Oracle (
Mary Alice stepping in for the late
Gloria Foster), decides that he must leave Zion and head for the machine mainframe. As
Neo and
Trinity venture into the dangerous machine world, with hopes of stopping both the machines and
Agent Smith, their comrades in Zion attempt to fight off the attacking sentinels with the odds stacked greatly against them. Other cast members returning include
Monica Bellucci,
Ngai Sing, and
Harold Perrineau Jr. ~ Matthew Tobey, All Movie Guide
