As in the film, the Matrix of that series (introduced in the 1976 serial The Deadly Assassin) is a massive computer system which one enters using a device connecting to the head, allowing users to see representations of the real world and change its laws of physics; but if killed there, they will die in reality.
Kao i u filmu, Matrica (pojavila se 1976. u trećem serijalu četrnaeste sezone, The Deadly Assassin) je masivni kompjuterski sustav u koji osoba ulazi koristeći napravu povezanu s glavom, dopušta korisnicima da vide prikaze stvarnog svijeta i mijenjaju fizikalne zakone; ali ako osoba tamo pogine, ona umira i u stvarnosti.
