Neo (The Matrix)

Neo, from *The Matrix*, is a computer programmer who discovers that the world he's living in is a simulated reality created by intelligent machines. These machines enslave humanity, using human bodies as an energy source while providing the illusion of everyday life through the Matrix. Neo becomes aware of this deception and is believed to be "The One," a prophesied savior with the unique ability to manipulate the Matrix's code. His journey involves awakening, self-discovery, and ultimately challenging the control of the machines to free humanity.
