As of Monday, Nov. 9, 2026, The Matrix is streaming free with ads on Pluto TV in the United States. Pluto's own movie page lists the 1999 film as "Completely Free," rated R, with a runtime of 2 hours 16 minutes, and CBR reports that The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions joined it on Nov. 1. Polygon, in a Monday piece, says the whole four-film saga is free, but CBR calls it a trilogy, so we explain below how to check the fourth film yourself. Here is how to watch, what the ads mean for you, and what we could and could not confirm. ## Where can you watch The Matrix for free in the U.S.? On Pluto TV, the free ad-supported streaming service. Pluto says there is no subscription and no credit card, and that short commercial breaks pay for the library. You can use its app on smart TVs and streaming devices, including Roku, Fire TV, LG, Apple TV, Sony, Chromecast, PlayStation and Xbox, according to the company's own FAQ. Phones and tablets work through the app stores, and Pluto says you can also watch in a browser such as Chrome or Safari. Search for the title inside the app, or go through the Movies tab. Pluto also lists Reloaded and Revolutions on The Matrix page as related picks, so you can queue the sequels after the first film. ## Which Matrix movies are free right now? - The Matrix (1999): confirmed free on Pluto's own page today. - The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions (both 2003): reported free since Nov. 1 by CBR and Wisevoter; Pluto's Matrix page lists them alongside the first film. - The Matrix Resurrections (2021): not confirmed. Polygon's headline says four films are free, while CBR and Wisevoter name only the first three. We could not verify the fourth on Pluto, so search for it in the app before you plan a four-film night. Wisevoter also notes that its source does not say how long the free availability will last. Pluto's footer says "Content Availability Subject to Change," so streaming licenses can end without much notice. If you want all three first films, do not leave it until Thanksgiving week. ## How long would a Matrix marathon take? The first film runs 2 hours 16 minutes, per Pluto. We did not verify the runtimes of the sequels on a source page today, so we will not give a total. Add ad breaks to whatever the sequels run, and plan for a long evening. One practical tip from our own reading of Pluto's setup: use the app's watch list so you can pick up where you left off on another device, which Pluto says a free profile enables. ## Is it worth watching again? Polygon argues the original film still reads as a snapshot of early-internet anxiety and cites Ghost in the Shell and Western cyberpunk as major influences on its look and ideas. It says the sequels expanded the mythology without repeating the first movie, and calls Resurrections an uneven fourth installment that tried to comment on reboots. Those are the outlet's opinions, not ours. Wisevoter also reports that a fifth Matrix film is in development with Drew Goddard set to direct. We could not confirm that on a studio page, so treat it as a report. For anyone planning to see the next film, a free refresher beats paying to rent the older ones. ## Our take Free is the main selling point, and the cost is ads. The Matrix has held up better than most 1999 sci-fi because its visual style does not depend on dated effects, but the sequels are a harder sell, and the ad breaks will not help the pacing of the long ones. If you only have one evening, watch the first film and decide from there. If you have been meaning to see the series for the first time, this is the lowest-risk way to try it. Availability and ads can change, so check the Pluto TV app before you sit down. ## Related reading - [Resident Evil digital release: price and where to watch](/post/resident-evil-digital-release-price-where-to-watch) - [Super Mario Galaxy Movie on Netflix Nov. 30: how to watch now](/post/super-mario-galaxy-movie-on-netflix-nov-30-how-to-watch-now) Picture credit: Warner Bros.
