"World Record" is a short
animation in
The Animatrix series about rare people in
the Matrix who are aware that it exists. They use this to their
advantage to perform supernatural things. This movie centers around a
track runner sprinting the 100 meter dash. As the race starts, flashbacks
-- flaws in the matrix -- begin to appear. The runner, Dan, is warned by his
coach to cancel this race, but Dan wants to break a record no one will
ever break in the future.
During the race, Dan speeds up, however his muscles become overloaded.
He drops back and the agents realize that he is waking up. They try to
catch him, but he speeds up, and wins the race with a winning time of 8.99
seconds, and he collapses. Meanwhile, in the real world, Dan wakes up but
a machine shocks him and plugs him back into the Matrix. Days later, Dan
is in a wheelchair in a coma-like state. Even though he is disabled in the
Matrix, Dan gets up slowly muttering words about freedom, but he is
overcome by the Matrix and falls down.
