That being computers have become self aware and only need humans to serve as a natural resource. Another factor that weight in our decision was the fact that it is a well-written script and is entertaining to watch. The movie centers on the main character Neo, and his journey to learn what the Matrix is. The plot of the movie as I have mentioned is the journey of Neo learning what the Matrix is, and ultimately his involvement in fighting the computers that run the Matrix. Computers take a primary role in this movie.
Computers are both the antagonist, and the tool that the protagonist uses to win in the end.
The machines are using humans as gigantic batteries to power their race. They imprison the humans in the matrix, a computer constructed world modeled after the Earth in the late 20 th century. The matrix keeps the humans distracted, oblivious to what is really happening. This is created through the use of computers and the machines own programming language. The movie goes on to explain that the whole situation was created when we as a race gave birth to artificial intelligence.
