Plot
Thomas Anderson is a successful video game developer, creator of The Matrix video game series based on his faint memories as Neo. At a local coffee shop, Anderson keeps crossing paths with Tiffany, a married mother with no recollection of her past, on which Anderson based Trinity, a character in his game. Anderson struggles at times to separate perceived reality from dreams. His therapist prescribes him blue pills to suppress the occurrences, which he stops taking.
Anderson operates a simulation called a modal, a programming sandbox created to develop game characters. A young woman named Bugs learns that the modal is running old code in a loop, enacting the moment when Trinity first found Neo within the Matrix.[a] Bugs discovers a program embodying Morpheus, and helps free him before Anderson's business partner, Smith, can erase the modal. Although Neo was presumed dead, Bugs and Morpheus trace him to Anderson and extract him from the Matrix, learning that Smith is actually Agent Smith, whose memory was also suppressed.
Neo awakens in a pod and notices Trinity confined in another one nearby, as machines sent by Bugs retrieve and transport him to Bugs' ship, the Mnemosyne. Neo is brought to the new bastion city of the resistance, called Io, where he reunites with an elderly Niobe. She explains that sixty years have passed in the real world since the Machine War ended, and that except for her, all of the other resistance members Neo used to know have died over time, including the original Morpheus. The peace achieved by Neo's sacrifice lasted for many years, but eventually so many humans were allowed to leave the Matrix that it created a serious power shortage, causing the machines to split into rival factions competing over limited resources. Ultimately a new power rose within the machine civilization that overthrew the Architect, seized power over the Matrix, and renewed the war. Zion was destroyed in an attack, though most of its people managed to evacuate. The survivors of the pro-truce, losing side of the machine civil war defected to the humans, and together they built the hidden city Io - which after decades is actually flourishing more than Zion ever did, and is even making limited progress in re-creating the dead biosphere.
Though Neo wants to rescue Trinity, Niobe opposes and instead locks him up. Bugs and her crewmates disobey Niobe to assist Neo in freeing Trinity. After entering the Matrix, they are intercepted by Smith and other exile programs, among them the Merovingian. The purge in the machine civilization extended into the Matrix, so that the glitch programs who once lived as power brokers are now barely surviving as homeless refugees at the fringes of the simulation. Fearful that Neo's actions will provoke another purge that could destroy them all, they attempt to stop him. Neo manages to defeat Smith as his abilities gradually return.
They leave and locate Trinity, but before Neo can talk to her, his therapist appears and immobilizes him by manipulating time. He reveals his identity as the Analyst, a program designed to study the human psyche. He explains that after Neo and Trinity's deaths, he was tasked with studying Neo's body and his anomalous powers as The One - convincing his superiors to repair and resurrect both of them (at extraordinary cost in effort and resources). He found that due to The One's inherent connection to all humanity in the Matrix, manipulating Neo could actually make the Matrix produce more energy. Moreover, he discovered that the code anomaly in Neo was actually shared in his bond with Trinity (the five "Ones" before Neo had no equivalent to his bond of romantic love with her). By suppressing both their memories and keeping them tantalizingly close but always apart, the Matrix generated much more energy. Solving the energy crisis put the Analyst in a position to seize power from the Architect, after which he rebuilt the Matrix: no longer trying to achieve a perfect simulation through mathematical precision, but controlling humans with emotional manipulation - citing that humans generally believe what they want to believe. However, Neo's liberation destabilized the system and triggered a fail-safe to reboot the Matrix. The Analyst stalled the reboot by convincing his superiors that threatening to kill Trinity would get Neo to voluntarily return to his pod.
Neo and Bugs forcibly exit the Matrix when another ship sent by Niobe brings the Mnemosyne back to Io. Niobe takes Neo to Sati, an exile program he previously met.[b] Seeking to avenge her parents' deaths at the hands of the machines, Sati helps devise a plan to free Trinity. Back in the Matrix, Neo makes a deal with the Analyst; he will return to his pod if he fails to convince Trinity to become aware of her own past and the Matrix. As Neo speaks with Tiffany, her family appears, enticing her to stay. She initially gives in, but soon after rejects them, recalling her true identity as Trinity. Realizing that he has lost, the Analyst attempts to kill her, but Smith intercedes, seeking revenge for his own imprisonment. Neo, Trinity, and the others escape in their vehicles, but are chased through the streets by hordes of "bot" programs and attack helicopters. As the last ones to be extracted, Neo and Trinity become cornered atop a skyscraper. Holding hands, they leap off, hoping Neo will be able to harness his flying ability, but instead Trinity gains the ability and flies them to safety.
With Trinity's newfound control over the Matrix, both return to confront the Analyst. They sarcastically thank him for giving them a second chance by resurrecting them, which they intend to use to remake the Matrix as they see fit. Neo and Trinity then triumphantly fly off into the sky together.
