The Matrix Quiz – Red Pill, Blue Pill and Bullet Time

The Matrix, written and directed by the Wachowskis, came out in 1999. Keanu Reeves plays Neo, a hacker who follows the white rabbit and learns that the world he knows is a computer simulation.

Morpheus offers him a choice: the blue pill to forget, or the red pill to see the truth. With Trinity and the crew of the Nebuchadnezzar, Neo learns to bend the Matrix's rules while Agent Smith hunts them.

The Oracle and the child who says there is no spoon hint at Neo's power. Bullet time, falling green code and stylish fights made the film famous, and it won four Oscars, including Best Visual Effects.
