Humans are all prisoners and that the tangible world is our cave. The things which we perceive as real are actually just shadows on a wall. Just as the escaped prisoner ascends into the light of the sun, we amass knowledge and ascend into the light of true reality: ideas in the mind, the form of the Good.

That's not about the Matrix Trilogy, but from Wikipedia about Plato's allegory of the Cave. It does sum up the films neatly though.

Not at all, many people are happy living without the truth. They actively deny the truth because it is too hard to conceive that it might be true. While other people, once they have tasted the truth cannot go back again. They are clever men those Wachowski brothers!
Of course, it's all a load of philosophical ******** really!
