The Matrix (1999)
In a futuristic world where humans are simply used as computer chips and power sources living in a seemingly natural virtual world along with the rest of humanity, with the exception of rebels who are fighting to restore order by revealing the truth. The computers/machines have taken over the world and they control humans (similar to the Terminator films with a twist) who live in capsules connected only to the reality they call their lives by the machines who control them. The film almost got cancelled when while shooting the helicopter scenes the pilots unknowingly flew into restricted Sydney Australia airspace. The laws were revised to give way to the film. The sidearm’s of the Agent was the Dessert Eagle .50 AE. The scene where Neo was flushed from the holding tank into a lake was the very last shot filmed. Keanu also did the wall climb sequence 34 floors in all. In the movie, Morpheus compares the human body to be a 120 Volt battery that produces 25,000BTU’s of body heat (ouch, does scorched give a hint?).
