The Unexpectedly Challenging, Yet Rewarding Life of Keanu Reeves

In The Matrix Reloaded, an intense chase scene unfolds on a freeway designed for the film at the former Alameda Point Navy Base. This bespoke setting added authenticity to the thrilling sequence.

Hollywood’s first studio-built freeway cost $2.5 million and stretched 1.25 miles. Filming this scene spanned three months and culminated in the destruction of the entire set after production.
