“The Matrix” takes place in the approximate year of 2190‚ where machines have taken over the earth. The machines create large fields with billions of pods containing humans‚ which serve as their energy source. The term “Matrix” is the name of a computer program used by the machines to make the humans believe they are living a normal life. The movie brings us along with the crew of the Nebakenezer‚ a very large hovercraft that is run by some of the last remaining humans free from the machines.

In their 1999 motion picture The Matrix‚ the Wachowski brothers use a computer program to display similar ideals of Plato’s allegory‚ including how humans are controlled and negatively react to the truth. Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave” serves as a philosophical basis to The Matrix‚ as both works suggest that humans express discomfort while exposed to truth and both argue that people are controlled by higher authorities. Both The Matrix and Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave” suggest that
