A computer hacker learns that his life and those of everyone around him is a sham, with the world merely a computer simulation, set-up to keep human bodies, which are now little more than living batteries, in working condition, in this popular piece of science-fiction, which is at its best when inventively blowing shit up, but in its more po-faced moments, despite some interesting ideas, is almost laugh-out-loud funny in its camp silliness.
