20 Things You Somehow Missed In The Matrix
12. September 11th, 2001
In the early scenes of the movie Neo is taken in for questioning by a trio of Agents who, in the hope of using him to apprehend Morpheus, begin to grill him on his criminal record. While being told that he's "guilty of virtually every computer crime that we have a law for", there's a very brief shot of Neo's passport.
As well as showing his place of birth as Capital City, it also shows that his passport expires on September 11th, 2001, the same day as the horrific terror attacks on New York's World Trade Centre. A harrowing coincidence that's caused all number of tin-hat conspiracy theories online.
