“The Matrix”‚ a 1999 film by the Wachowski brothers‚ adapts a number of new and ancient philosophies about the truth behind reality‚ but the most central to the overarching framework of the film is adapted from Plato’s Allegory of the Cave.

In book 7 Plato questions the validity of our perceptions by using the analogy of the cave attempts to describe human nature in both of its states‚ the educated and the uneducated. Uneducated people are like prisoners chained in a dark cave. Socrates then asks his audience to imagine a cave with prisoners in it.
