The Mainframe is a film released in 1998, with adverts shown in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories. It is a clear parody of The Matrix, though The Matrix technically did not premiere until 1999. The movie poster shows pedestrians from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
The movie is about five teens who take LSD (according to the billboard) and discover the 'truth'. They actually live in a computer. Quotes from the movie include
"What will it be? Yes, or no? 1 or 0?"
"Ahh! Your head is actually a big pixel!"
It is rated PS (Pretty Stupid).
Trivia
- The movie breaks the fourth wall of the gaming world. Much like the soapboxxers in Grand Theft Auto IV.
- The characters shown in the billboard are nothing more than standard pedestrian models from GTA San Andreas.
