Trinity and Neo were both hackers. Obviously Jax and the line operator's. It makes me curious if The Matrix is a tribute to the strength of hackers.

  • Also, the line operators were not necessarily hackers in the same way. Tank was a Zion born human, not a red pill. – cde Mar 21 '17 at 13:07

No. There are many people who aren't hackers. Prime example comes from Animatrix stories "Kid's Story" where the character Kid, a normal teenage student, actually comes into the real movies, and "World Record" where a world class athlete almost breaks out from sheer physical prowess itself .

As the stories say, people with "a rare degree of intuition, sensitivity, and a questioning nature" are the ones who break out of the Matrix without help. Those traits are also common in hackers, but not exclusive to them.

  • In support of your answer, my impression of the Wachowskis is that they are more focused on the spiritual/psychological elements as opposed to the technical. – DukeZhou Mar 22 '17 at 21:33
