The Matrix Reloaded

Six months later, an army of Sentinels is digging toward Zion. The Oracle sends Neo after the Keymaker, the program that opens the way to the Source. Smith is back: he copies himself into anyone in the Matrix and even takes over the body of Bane, a crew member, in the real world. Neo, Morpheus and Trinity pry the Keymaker away from the Merovingian with help from his wife, Persephone. At the Source, the Architect reveals Neo is the sixth version of the One, a part of the system, and gives him a choice: reboot the Matrix or save Trinity. Neo saves Trinity. In the real world, he stops Sentinels with his mind and falls into a coma. Bane, still carrying Smith, lies unconscious beside him.
