The storyline of the movie throws audiences immediately into the mystery behind "the matrix" from an objective person's perspective. Neo, or Mr. Anderson as the evil Agents call him, is searching for an answer to a question he's looked for all his life. He wants to know "what is the matrix?" Neo later learns from two new mysterious friends that the matrix is "the world pulled over your eyes." In time, and with help from these friends Morpheus and Trinity, Neo learns the reality, or non-reality, of the matrix. He finds the truth of the world in which the human race is enslaved and is used as a power source for artificially intelligent computers, which took over the world long ago. At the prompting of Morpheus, Neo starts to wonder if he could be the one prophesied and destined to free the human race from the control of these sadistic computer programs.

His language and look throughout the movie suggest just how reluctant he was in the beginning, and how all this changed by the end. His attitude in the movies opening shows him as an easily startled man who is a bit jumpy and quite cautious; his cautiousness especially shows as he first talks to the guy in the beginning to whom he is selling an illegal disk and his worry of getting caught shows through. In the end, he became the cocky hero as he dawned the black suit, sunglasses, and a set of guns. This turned him into our action hero.

Lastly, Neo is finally surprised in a doorway and gunned down by an Agent, but following Seger's process, Neo is reborn. Upon his rebirth he realizes his true control over the matrix and promptly halts a volley of bullets from the now dissatisfied Agents.

This is the process, which Seger believes makes a true mythic hero, The Matrix very closely parallels this concept and creates the mythical, and larger than life hero, Neo. Another article relevant to this movie would be Kevin Jenning's article "American Dreams." This is based upon how the author tried to chased down the American dream and let it rule his life.
