Synopsis

Nine animated shorts expand The Matrix universe, exploring humanity's war with machines and the nature of reality.

1. Final Flight of the Osiris The crew of the Osiris stumble upon a looming threat that could endanger the last human city. As one member dives into the Matrix to deliver a vital warning, the rest mount a desperate defense against an overwhelming machine force. 2-3. The Second Renaissance Part 1 and 2 In the early 21st century, humanity celebrates the birth of sentient machines—until coexistence frays and tensions ignite. These two parts trace the road from uneasy partnership to an epoch-defining conflict whose outcome reshapes the world. 4. Kid's Story A high-schooler senses something off about his everyday life. When a legendary hacker reaches out, the boy is thrust toward a choice that could tear him from the only reality he has ever known. 5. Program Inside a hyper-real samurai simulation, two warriors spar over ideals, loyalty, and the price of freedom—each strike forcing them to decide whether to stay in the system or risk everything to leave it. 6. World Record An elite sprinter pushes past human limits during a championship race, momentarily glimpsing a truth beyond the stadium lights. The aftermath leaves him—and those watching—questioning the nature of achievement and identity. 7. Beyond A girl searching for her missing cat wanders into an abandoned lot where local kids claim the laws of physics bend. Their playful afternoon hints that the world might be far less solid than it seems. 8. Detective Story Hard-boiled investigator Ash accepts a cryptic commission to find a shadowy cyber-criminal known only as Trinity. Each clue pulls him deeper into a labyrinth where every answer costs a piece of his own reality. 9. Matriculated A small band of researchers attempts to reprogram a captured machine by immersing it in a dreamlike construct. As outside forces close in, the line between captor and captive begins to blur inside the illusion.
