Program (The Animatrix)

Program is a short film written and directed by Yoshiaki Kawajiri, and is part of The Animatrix series.

Spoiler warning: Plot or ending details follow.

Program is mainly about a girl, named Cis, who is roaming around in her favorite battle program where she is fighting samurai. A man named Duo appears and tries to convince her to join him on a trip to the Matrix but Cis refuses and tries to run away defending herself from attack. When Cis sees running is useless, she stands still and Duo jumps from a higher level roof with his sword in the air. Cis concentrates and grabs the blade of the sword inches from her face and breaks it. Cis then takes the broken part of the sword and kills Duo only to wake up from the program and find it was a test her brother had arranged for her. The story has no relevance to the continuing storyline of the Matrix series.
