Matrix Reloaded-Revolutions
Shadow Script Part 16

AGENT SMITH and JONES stare down into the plaza. The building shakes slightly as it descends.

FROM the three streets that enter the plaza, military vehicles pour in. Hundreds of troops discharge and form a L-shaped circle around NEO. Tanks rumble in, and the Apaches whirl to a hover. Panicking civilians rush out of the kill zone.

NEO stands calmly, continuing his work.

EXT. ROOFTOP

MORPHEUS and NIOBE stare from the rooftop.

EXT. METACORTEX PLAZA

The air rumbles as the building continues to gently collapse. The sky flashes, and massive streaks of lighting blast across it like cracks in reality.

CU: SOLDIERS

They line their weapons on NEO. They are nervous

PRIVATE

"This is impossible. What's going on?"

SERGEANT

"Just keep him in your sites, soldier."

INT. TANK TURRET

CU: TANK GUNNER

HIS eye is glued to the tank site and his trigger finger on the fire button.

POV: TANK SITE

The green crosshairs sit on NEO'S chest.

CU: NEO

His eyes open, but the building continues to collapse. He stares up at a mirrored window, and somehow, straight into the eyes of:

CU: AGENT SMITH

SMITH

"Open fire."

A WALL of flame and fingers of tracers bursts from the skirmish lines. The tracers grow into a cone of orange flame bearing down on NEO as we drop into bullet time.

THE bullets sizzle as tracers burn off their backs. The draw toward him like slugs. Thousands of bullets fired at perpendicular angles close in on him. As they draw close to one another along almost perpendicular paths, they tinkle and chime and bounce.

The bullets come to a stop, glowing as their tracers backs continue to burn. The world is in stop motion as the bullets stop, turn 180 degrees, and suddenly accelerate back at their origins. Faster and fast they fly, until we drop back into REAL TIME.

THE SKIRMISH line of troops is ripped apart by a hail of their own bullets.

CU: MACHINE GUNNER. With an M-249 SAW, he blazes away at NEO, only to be shredded by his own bullets. A private takes a shot at NEO, and a bullet slaps into his shoulder. REALIZING what's happening, he drops his weapon.

THE SOLDIERS are dropping like flies. The firing quickly subsides.

NEO stands alone in the center, unharmed. He turns to the skirmish lines. THE surviving soldiers drop their weapons, and run. Panic ensues. Only a few officers, NCOs, and soldiers too amazed to think of running remain.

INT. HELICOPTER COCKPIT

NEO is targeted on an LCD screen.

PILOT

"Fox One."

EXT. HELICOPTER WING

CU: AGM-65 HELLFIRE GROUND-TO-AIR-MISSILE

The missile drops from its release claws and ignites, accelerating off screen.

POV: HELLFIRE NOSE CAM

The missile flies horizontally over the plaza, then pitches up, and back down at NEO. He looks at it, and at the last second the nose goes back up.

EXT. PLAZA

The missile swoops up over him, leaving him in its exhaust smoke.

POV: HELLFIRE NOSE CAM

THE missile banks, panning across the city, until it locks onto the helicopter from which it originated.

INT. HELICOPTER COCKPIT

THE missile bears down the chopper.

CU: PILOT

HE'S TOO stunned to move. Mouth agape, he can only watch as:

EXT. HELICOPTER

IT'S BLOWN to fiery pieces, and comes tumbling down, landing on the street as soldiers and civilians flee.

INT. TANK TURRET

TANK COMMANDER

"Fire!"

THE GUNNER pulls the trigger.

EXT. M1A2 ABRAMS

WE drop into bullet time as a cone of fire - bigger than the tank and the shape of a pine tree, blows out of the barrel, pushing the tank back. From the fire streaks a HEAT round, white hot, leaving a laser-like tracer as it bears down on NEO.

REAL TIME

THE TRACER stops in front of NEO, and out of the air the HEAT round appears. Suspended in air, it shakes with violence. It accelerates backwards, flying straight back into the tank barrel.

INT. TANK TURRET

THE gunner screams as the BREECH explodes, blocking our view.

EXT. TANK

The tanks explodes like a 60-ton hand grenade, plowing soldiers onto their faces, consuming the unlucky ones close to it, and throwing the 30-ton turret straight up, 10 yards into the air. It rotates, aflame, and comes crashing down on a nearby commander and his radio man.

INT. METACORTEX OFFICE

THE EXPLOSION shakes the building. The scene below is a complete route. Black smoke billows up from the flaming wrecks. The remaining tanks aren't retreating - the crews are piling out and running. The Apache helicopters turn tail and run.
