Lana and Lilly Wachowski's 1999 The Matrix revolutionised science fiction filmmaking. It came to be associated not only with oval sunglasses, a long, black stand-up collar leather trench, and above all, Keanu Reeves. But also a plot that was way ahead of its time.

One of its most important plot points — a cultural meme today — is the one where the protagonist Neo (Reeves) is offered a choice between a red pill and a blue one by rebel leader Morpheus. While the former represents coming face to face with reality and obtaining freedom, the latter implies ignorance. "You take the blue pill — the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe," Morpheus says. Neo takes the red one. And so do Eika and Siddharth Banerjee, for 52 weeks straight.
