0:00 - 0:05
The trailer begins with a black screen, accompanied by a low, ominous electronic hum. The iconic green digital rain code of the Matrix cascades briefly, followed by the Warner Bros. Pictures logo fading in and out. A faint heartbeat sound pulses in the background, setting an intense and suspenseful mood.

The scene opens with a close-up of Thomas Anderson/Neo (Keanu Reeves) in a sterile, modern office, staring at a mirror. His reflection glitches, briefly showing his younger self from the original Matrix. A voiceover, likely Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss), says, “I keep having these dreams... they feel so real.” The camera pans to Neo’s face, his expression troubled. The music shifts to a haunting cover of “White Rabbit” by Jefferson Starship, starting with soft vocals: “One pill makes you larger…”

Quick cuts show Neo walking through a bustling city street, the world bathed in a greenish tint. People are absorbed in their phones, unaware of their surroundings, reinforcing the Matrix’s control. Neo pauses, noticing a black cat crossing his path—a nod to déjà vu from the original films. A new character, Bugs (Jessica Henwick), with blue hair and a fierce demeanor, says to Neo, “You’re not crazy. You’re just not awake yet.” The visuals are sleek, with neon signs and reflective surfaces amplifying the digital aesthetic.

The trailer escalates with rapid imagery. Neo sits in a coffee shop, locking eyes with Trinity, who looks older but strikingly familiar. She asks, “Have we met before?” Their hands nearly touch, sparking a flicker of recognition. A new Morpheus (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II), dressed in a sharp suit, hands Neo a red pill and says, “Time to fly.” The music intensifies, with electric guitar riffs joining the “White Rabbit” cover. Flashes show Neo swallowing the red pill, his reality fracturing as mirrors ripple and walls dissolve.
0:41 - 1:00
Action sequences explode onto the screen. Neo, now in his iconic black trench coat and sunglasses, fights agents in a skyscraper, dodging bullets in slow-motion “bullet time.” Bugs leaps across rooftops, wielding dual pistols with precision. A swarm of drones fills the sky, pursuing them. Trinity is seen on a motorcycle, speeding through a collapsing city street as buildings glitch and fold. A voiceover, possibly a villain (Jonathan Groff), sneers, “You can’t break the system.” Explosions light up the night, with glass shattering in slow motion.
1:01 - 1:20
The trailer delves into surreal visuals. Neo stands in a dojo, facing Morpheus, who challenges him: “You’ve lost your edge, Neo. Find it.” They spar, their movements fluid and superhuman, with the environment warping around them. A shot shows Neo stopping a barrage of bullets mid-air, his hand outstretched, reclaiming his powers. Trinity leaps off a skyscraper, her body glowing with digital energy, as the ground below distorts into a grid of code. The “White Rabbit” lyrics hit: “And if you go chasing rabbits…”
1:21 - 1:40
Emotional stakes come to the forefront. Neo and Trinity stand in a desolate, mechanical landscape, possibly the real world, surrounded by pods and biomechanical tendrils. Trinity whispers, “I remember you.” Neo responds, “I won’t let you go again.” A montage shows them fighting side by side: Neo deflecting missiles, Trinity taking down agents with martial arts. Bugs hacks into a terminal, revealing layers of Matrix code. A new character, Sati (Priyanka Chopra Jonas), says, “The Matrix is evolving. So must you.”
1:41 - 2:00
The trailer reaches a fever pitch. A massive battle unfolds in the Matrix, with Neo, Trinity, and their allies facing an army of agents and machines. Buildings crumble, and the sky pulses with green static. Neo levitates, his silhouette glowing against a digital horizon, as he manipulates the environment, bending reality. A villain’s voice taunts, “You’re just a glitch in the code.” Trinity grabs Neo’s hand, and they leap into a void of light, their bodies dissolving into streams of data. The music peaks with “Feed your head!”
2:01 - 2:20
The pace slows for a dramatic moment. Neo and Trinity float in a white, ethereal space, their hands clasped. Neo says, “This isn’t just a program. It’s us.” The trailer cuts to a rapid montage: a helicopter crashing into a skyscraper, Neo redirecting a missile with his mind, and Trinity soaring through the air. Morpheus grins, saying, “Welcome back, Neo.” The screen flashes with green code, and the title “The Matrix Resurrections” appears in bold, glowing letters, accompanied by a deep bass thrum.
2:21 - 2:30
The trailer concludes with the release date, “December 22, 2021,” and mentions availability in theaters and on HBO Max. The Warner Bros. and Village Roadshow logos appear. A final post-title scene shows Neo waking in a pod, gasping as he breaks free from biomechanical cables, his eyes wide with realization. The screen cuts to black, and the music fades, leaving a lingering sense of anticipation.
