How does The Matrix start out?

Question

Ok, does The Matrix (first movie) start with the main character receiving a phone call with mysterious instructions - "the FBI will arrest you in 30 seconds. get down low and follow these instructions" or something like that?

Because I just saw an ad for Eagle Eye, a new movie, that looks like it starts like that and i was like "holy c**p, Matrix rip-off!"

Just want to make sure I'm not going crazy and imagining the wierd similarities.

Answer 5

If memory serves, The Matrix starts off with Smith going after Trinity, which is about a 10 minutes chasing sequence. Morpheus doesn't give Neo instructions over the phone until maybe 30 minutes into the movie. Still sounds suspect, tho.

Answer 6

The movie starts with Trinity being chased by three agents, and the police, or FBI.  She loses them by jumping from a rooftop to another, at a distance the agents couldn't make.  The phone scene doesn't happen till 10 minutes into the movie.
