The Sheffield culture guide written by in-the-know locals

The Matrix

Released at the end of the 20th century in 1999, the impact of The Matrix on cinema and pop culture is almost too big to measure.

A great way for those who adore this phenomenal film to see it the way it's meant to be seen – on the big screen – and for those unfamiliar with this iconic film to see the groundbreaking classic that redefined a genre.

In the words of Morpheus: "no one can be told what The Matrix is, you have to see it for yourself".
