《黑客帝国与哲学》作者威廉·欧文，《黑客帝国》是最具哲学意味的电影，它快节奏的情节的每一步都围绕着一个哲学难题。如果我们所知的世界不过是一场梦，这个梦是真实的吗?如果我们可以选择吞下红色药丸，走出我们的世界，进入一个更真实但不那么舒适的世界，那么不这样做会是一个道德上的失败吗?为什么人的确有超出智能电子机械的价值?精神与肉体可以彼此分离而存在吗?

The human city of Zion defends itself against the massive invasion of the machines as Neo fights to end the war at another front while also opposing the rogue Agent Smith.

Six months after the events depicted in The Matrix, Neo has proved to be a good omen for the free humans, as more and more humans are being freed from the matrix and brought to Zion, the one and only stronghold of the Resistance. Neo himself has discovered his superpowers including super speed, ability to see the codes of the things inside the matrix and a certain degree of pre-cognition. But a nasty piece of news hits the human resistance: 250,000 machine sentinels are digging to Zion and would reach them in 72 hours. As Zion prepares for the ultimate war, Neo, Morpheus and Trinity are advised by the Oracle to find the Keymaker who would help them reach the Source. Meanwhile Neo's recurrent dreams depicting Trinity's death have got him worried and as if it was not enough, Agent Smith has somehow escaped deletion, has become more powerful than before and has fixed Neo as his next target.

Set in the 22nd century, The Matrix tells the story of a computer hacker who joins a group of underground insurgents fighting the vast and powerful computers who now rule the earth.
