The Matrix

Ah, yes, the science fiction epic that changed movies forever. Bullet dodging, men punching through brick walls, epic gunfights, slow-motion unlike anything the world has ever seen before, and a story that you can barely wrap your mind around are all reasons why the Matrix was such an insanely awesome movie. And the special effects were so good, that it is still way ahead of it’s time. Definitely one of Reaves’ defining moments.

Speed

This is an older film that Keanu did with Sandra Bullock that was very, very awesome. Basically, a bomb is planted aboard a bus. If the bus slows below 55 miles per hour, it detonates. As you can probably foresee, madness ensues. And who has to save the day? I’ll give you one guess.

The Day the Earth Stood Still

In this remake of a classic old science fiction film, Keanu Reaves plays an alien who is here to discuss certain issues with mankind dealing with it’s impending extermination. But a series of events change his character’s mind about mankind, and he begins to believe that perhaps mankind is, after all, ready to make a change.

Live free or Die Hard

This is the last installment of the famous Die Hard movies starring Bruce Willis. Yes, Bruce returns in this movie, though the brain power may be beyond his limits. He enlists the help of a young hacker to help him stop a mastermindís plot to basically take over the world using a computer hacking program called a firestorm. But don’t worry, Bruce does get to see some old fashioned action in this one!

Eagle Eye

If you were to create a super-computer for the government that got so smart and good at what it did that it began recruiting its own agents from the system to perform mysterious acts for it, then you would have a very realistic idea similar to the plot of this movie. Now, if your computer began using these agents to destroy your government agency, you would be getting a very good idea, and if it enlisted the help of Shey Lebuff (Transformers 1, Transformers 2) to help it, than you would pretty much have this one in reality-form.

The Matrix

The ultimate movie of computer domination. In this movie, computers have dominated mankind, who is now struggling to just stay alive. But there is hope, in the form of a chosen one (Keanu Reaves) who is beyond the computeris limits. Only he can set mankind free from the virtual prison that enslaves them.
