The epic war between man
and machine reaches a thundering crescendo in this third part: the Zion military,
aided by courageous civilian volunteers like Zee and the Kid, desperately battles
to hold back the Sentinel invasion as the Machine army bores into their stronghold.
Facing total annihilation, the citizens
of the last bastion of humanity fight not only for their own lives, but for the
future of mankind itself. But an unknown element poisons the ranks from within:
the rogue program Smith has cunningly hijacked Bane, a member of the hovercraft
fleet. Growing more powerful with each passing second, Smith is beyond even the
control of the Machines and now threatens to destroy their empire along with the
real world and the Matrix. The Oracle
offers Neo her final words of guidance, which he accepts with the knowledge that
she is a program and her words could be just another layer of falsehood in the
grand scheme of the Matrix. With the
aid of Niobe, Neo and Trinity choose to travel farther than any human has ever
dared to go - a treacherous journey above ground, across the scorched surface
of the earth and into the heart of the menacing Machine City. In this vast mechanized
metropolis, Neo comes face to face with the ultimate power in the Machine world--the
Deus Ex Machina--and strikes a bargain that is the only hope for a dying world.
The war will end tonight, with Neo's
destiny and the fate of two civilizations inexorably tied to the outcome of his
cataclysmic confrontation with Smith. |
