The complete Matrix saga is streaming free on Pluto TV this month, per Polygon — all four films, no subscription required.

The timing carries some weight: it has been 27 years since the original film arrived and reshaped what action filmmaking could look like, from bullet time to its wire-work choreography that an entire generation of blockbusters borrowed from. The series went on to span four installments, following Neo's journey from office drone to the simulated world's reluctant savior.

For viewers who have only caught fragments on cable or never made it past the first film, the free window is a low-stakes way to take in the whole arc — including the divisive later entries that have been steadily re-evaluated in recent years. Pluto TV's ad-supported model means the only cost is sitting through commercial breaks.
