The Matrix Revolutions facts for kids

The Matrix Revolutions is a 2003 movie. It was written and directed by the Wachowski siblings. This film is the third one in The Matrix series, coming after The Matrix Reloaded.

What Happens in the Movie?

When Neo wakes up, he finds himself stuck in a strange train station. He is there because he used his special powers too much at the end of the second movie. He touched the main source of the Matrix but did not fully return.

Meanwhile, his friends Trinity, Morpheus, and Seraph search for him. They visit a powerful character called the Merovingian, who controls many things in the Matrix. After a tense meeting, the Merovingian agrees to free Neo. Trinity then rescues him.

The Battle for Zion

The human city of Zion gets ready for a huge war against the machines. They gather all their supplies at a dock area. They use large fighting robots called Armored Personnel Units (APU) to defend themselves. However, there are too many machines, and the humans are forced to retreat to their temple.

Niobe, a skilled pilot, tries to return to Zion in her ship. She attempts to fly through a very dangerous area. But she makes a mistake, and the machines start chasing them.

During the battle at the dock, Commander Milfune tries to stop the machines. He is overwhelmed and dies. He tells a young fighter called the Kid to take his APU and open the dock doors. The Kid succeeds, and Niobe's ship flies through. It then uses an EMP (Electro-Magnetic Pulse) to temporarily stop the machines, saving the dock for a short time.

Neo's Final Journey

Near the end of the movie, Neo decides he needs to talk directly to the machines. Niobe lets him use her ship, the Logos. Earlier, a character named Bane (who is now controlled by Agent Smith) had hidden on the Logos.

While on the ship, Bane attacks Neo and burns his eyes. But Neo can still "see" using his special powers and defeats Bane. As Neo and Trinity get closer to the machine city, many machines attack them. Trinity flies the ship above the clouds to escape the machines. However, this damages their engines, and they crash. Trinity is badly hurt and dies.

Neo then walks to the leader of the machines, called Deus Ex Machina. Neo tells the machines that Agent Smith has become too powerful and is out of control. He says that only he can stop Smith. Neo offers peace if the machines stop attacking Zion.

Neo and Smith begin to fight again. This time, Neo cannot easily defeat Smith. In the end, Neo allows Smith to take him over. When Smith does this, he is destroyed because his purpose was to balance Neo, who is now gone. With Smith gone, the machines stop their attack on Zion.
