About this video
The iconic opening scene with Trinity in The Matrix almost cost the film its existence. Warner Bros. didn’t believe in it — until they saw the Trinity fight and the birth of bullet time.
Carrie-Anne Moss performed almost all her own stunts, even breaking her ankle during filming. Using 120 synchronized cameras, the Wachowskis created the revolutionary “bullet time” effect — a practical illusion that changed action filmmaking forever.
This scene didn’t just open The Matrix — it proved that practical effects could rewrite cinema history.
