Navigating: This locations guide is most easily searched using the categories on the right-hand side of the page. Choose from scene names (i.e. Simulatte) or geographical areas within San Francisco (i.e. Financial District).  

You can also use screen captures to help you navigate by clicking on Scene Gallery. There, click on the screen capture or the scene title to see filming locations.

For each entry in the guide, you will find a Google Map of each public location, and a gallery with either screen matched photos if we were able to travel there or knew someone who did, or relevant screen captures. You can click on gallery photos to see larger versions. Travel tips and location information are also provided.

Location Notes: The interior and exterior of this building on 1 Front St were used as the video game company Deus Machina. The curving edges of the building match well with Thomas' office windows. It is a private business; please do not attempt to scout the inside.

Location Notes: House of Nanking, opened by Lily and Peter Fang in 1988, does not take reservations, but standing in line is totally worth it. The food is amazing and reasonably priced. With patience, you can sit exactly where Neo sat. It's a table for two right under a picture of Keanu Reeves and Kathy Fang, now chef, taken when he visited the restaurant during the filming of M1. Kathy, Peter, and Keanu took an updated photo when Resurrections filmed at the restaurant which also hangs proudly on the wall. You can also see the stacks of T-shirts pictured behind Sati during Thomas' treadmill sequence. We did not leave the restaurant without buying one. Peter is famous for ordering for his guests - don't be afraid to let this happen. Do not miss this iconic San Francisco hot spot!

Location Notes: ​The Analyst's Office is one of the most beautiful locations. However, travelling along Vallejo street at the bottom of the hill to reach it presents location hunters with an intimidating stair climb. If you love cardio, then this workout is for you, but if you're looking to reach the location relatively sweat-free, make your way to the intersection of Vallejo and Jones Streets. Hop up one staircase and you're there!

Location Notes: Sati shared her heist plan to rescue Trinity at Lands End in San Francisco. The first photo in the gallery highlights the path to take to get to the location (it's to the left of these stairs). You can park on the street on Point Lobos Ave or in the Lands End Lookout parking lot. Look left off of Lands End Trail close to where it meets Sutro Baths Upper Trail. You'll have to do some searching off the trail - having the screen capture with you will be helpful! There is a gift shop in the parking lot as well that has some beautiful shirts, posters etc. Almost like unofficial M4 merch. The gift shop is not open Sundays.

​The interactive map above shows the entire chase. Follow the colours of the rainbow (ROYGBI) to see the sequence in order as you note the photo matches in this blog entry. Click the icon on the top left to open the legend. Click on the route lines and the blue markers with motorcycles to view key locations. Use the + and - buttons to zoom the map as necessary. Now, let's go!

Start (RED line): Simulatte, Montgomery St at Pine St

Location Notes: Buckle up! This section will follow the chase all the way through. As with most films, this sequence does not follow a single, logical progression through San Francisco but all major locations are included here. There are separate sections on the helicopter and bot attacks also in this blog.

​The chase starts at Montgomery and Pine facing north (photos above). Keep the door into Simulatte (Joe & the Juice) on your left and face Pine St.

ORANGE line: Chase continues to Montgomery St at Sacramento St

Location Notes: Now we see a helicopter view of Montgomery street including the Montgomery/Sacramento intersection (match 1). Sheperd's car is seen at this intersection in front of the Citi Bank (match 2). The motorcycle with Trinity and Neo has been travelling west on Sacramento and turns left onto Montgomery (match 3) where Neo elbows some bots (we see the bank behind him) and they continue down Montgomery where they pass the two sconces (match 4). We then see Sheperd's car turn down the same street and get swarmed by bots. Lexy and Berg's car appears and bots are fought along the stretch of Montgomery between Sacramento and California. Editors then cut in a shot from the Zombie Bot Attack and we are suddenly on Sansome St following the motorcycle toward the Bank of the Orient (match 5), before returning to the intersection of Montgomery and California. The motorcycle now appears to be heading west down California (match 6). This sequence culminates with Neo blocking several bots who attempt to jump off an overhang at the Bank of Guam onto the motorcycle (match 7). The Bank of Guam is at 404 Montgomery just before the California intersection.

YELLOW line: Grant Plaza sequence, Pine St at Grant Ave

Location Notes:  Now we jump to Grant Avenue. Sheperd, heading south on Grant, makes a left turn onto Pine, tangles with police, and comes to a squealing stop at the Grant Plaza hotel, which is right on the corner of Pine St and Grant Ave (match 1). A man, who is driving while watching the action, becomes a bot and slams into a black car in front of the Grant Plaza (interestingly the reverse angle of this shot that appears next is at Grant Ave and California St). Neo and Trinity then make the same dramatic left turn from Grant onto Pine (match 2) and head east down Pine with Sheperd's car following. As they head down this crazy steep hill (photo left), Neo crushes a car in their path and Trinity takes the bike over it and into the air (matches 3 & 4)! We have now reached the Zombie Bot Attack. 

GREEN line: Zombie Bot Attack, Sansome St between California St and Pine St

Location Notes: The Zombie Bot Attack begins (match 1) with a bot getting out of bed and crashing out of a window of the Adam Grant building (114 Sansome St) pictured on the left. Bots begin dropping on Trinity and Neo as they head north on Sansome, clearly passing the Bank of the Orient (match 2). The action jumps to a lot of bots dropping on them at the intersection of Pine and Sansome (match 3). A bot then falls on a car, flipping it end over end in front of the 7-11 on Sansome (match 4). We get a reverse view of this car where you can see the flags across the street from the 7-11 (match 5). Lexy and Berg then have a bot hit their windshield in front of the same 7-11. Sheperd, Trinity and Neo continue toward the intersection of Sansome and California (match 6), where Sheperd's car dramatically collides with a streetcar. Trinity and Neo weave past and continue down Sansome (match 7).

BLUE line: Car flip and Zombie Bot wall, Samsone between Sacramento St and California St

Location Notes: Trinity and Neo are now travelling the opposite way, south, down Sansome (match 1, starting at Sacramento) when a bot-driven truck attempts to collide with them. Neo stops it and we see it soar dramatically over the motorcycle in front of Halleck Alley (match 2, at Sansome). Trinity heads down the alley (match 3 and 4) and the bots assemble behind them to create the 'kill zone'.

INDIGO line: The kill zone, Pine St between Sansome St and Front St

Location Notes: Now travel east on Pine street, starting at the Sansome intersection, and you approach the helicopter kill zone. You'll see a lot of familiar signs as you continue down Pine (matches 2 & 3). The helicopters first fire on Trinity and Neo here (match 1, from over the top of the Pacific Gas & Electric Co pictured on the left - it's at 245 Market St) and we see the bike ride through a fireball in front of the ADI|SKY building at 235 Pine St (match 4). The helicopters continue to fire as the motorcycle crosses Battery St and Trinity and Neo are thrown from the bike (match 5). Note the Lenscrafters on the left side of match 5 to help with finding this location. 

End: Bugs saves Lexy and Berg, Sansome St in front of the 7-11

Location Notes: The Chase ends with Trinity and Neo being thrown from their bike. Bugs then rescues Lexy and Berg in front of the 7-11 on Sansome. Then we cut to Trinity and Neo on foot, walking toward the lobby of the Stock Exchange Tower at 155 Sansome (it has its own blog entry).

MacLean noted the achievement of this sequence. It was difficult to permit; they had FEMA level safety and she described it as preparing for 9/11. There were live explosions, melted buildings and "calculated mayhem." Originally the rig carrying our heros wouldn't fit under the bus lines in SFO. It was difficult to shut down a bustling city for two weeks to film, yet only two weeks later the streets were almost completely empty due to the first covid lockdown.

This page shows every major landmark during the chase sequence. There are separate entries for the Zombie Bot Attack and the Helicopter Attack. Note that Simulatte (Joe & the Juice) is on the corner of Montgomery and Pine if it's all too much and you just want to grab a coffee and chill :).

The Matrix Resurrections is the property of Warner Bros. If you use photos from www.matrix4locations.com, please credit us and include a link to our site.

Location Notes: This location is best visited on the way into San Francisco as it is distant from the other downtown locations (Neo's condo is the closest). These pictures are of empty equipment. Please do not take pictures in this gym.

Location Notes: Neo's condo is easy to locate on Folsom street. There was some controversy online about a second location where they may have shot the bathtub scene. MacLean, who personally chose and was responsible for this beautiful location, clarified that this was the only building used as Neo's condo.

Location Notes: A do-not-miss location within walking distance of Union Square, 44 Montgomery towers over the streets. MacLean noted that Carrie-Anne Moss and Keanu Reeves completed 3 jumps on their own; the rest were completed by stunt doubles. They jumped off the NE corner of the building (noted above) from a platform used to attach window washers. There were 8 safety harnesses running between 44 Montgomery and a nearby building and drones in the air.

​Walk down Sutton Street, starting at Montgomery to be right under where they jumped. Walk along Montgomery St. and turn left onto Market St. to get the shot with the helicopter and the bullets dropping.

Location Notes: Combine a visit to this location with a meal at House of Nanking (or if you love Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, this is a location from that movie as well). Neo looks into the sun just steps from the restaurant. You'll also see Cafe Zoetrope, visible in the film, a European (Italian) cafe named after Francis Ford Coppola's production company, American Zoetrope.

Location Notes: This location is very close to where Thomas gets drunk and attempts to jump (the black building to the left in the adjacent shot). It's not possible to see the little tower from the ground.

Location Notes: This is a Chase bank building on California Street. It's difficult to see all the details from the ground but you can rest assured that Thomas tried to jump here!

​150 California Street

STravel Tips: The photos above are from Google Earth, but the ledge and the building beside the figure are visible. In the movie, Semblance affected Neo's DSI in the Matrix which is why we see a bald man here. It was producer James McTeigue. Location manager MacLean explained that Bugs window-washing when she sees Neo here was CGI.

Location Notes: This location is at the City Club of San Francisco building at Pine and Sansome Streets. It is the side of the same building which contains the lobby where Trinity and Neo fought off bullets before backing into an elevator. 

Location Notes: There is a gorgeous view of this bridge from Pier 14 and on Russian Hill (where the Analyst works and where we took this picture). The bridge was also part of an establishing shot at the beginning of the film (left).

Location Notes: If you'd like to follow Tiff on her bike, cross the Oakland Bay Bridge heading north-east toward Oakland. Please do not take pictures/video when actively driving. This is also the bridge where the beautiful pattern of birds flys over throughout the film.

Location Notes: Stand on Pine St looking east and orient by the Lens Crafters. The shot is probably best taken from in the street, but please be careful. The building is the Pacific Gas & Electric Co at 245 Market St. Click on the category 'The Chase' on the right to see the whole sequence.

Location Notes: Sansome Street is very close to Simulatte (Joe & the Juice). As the chase sequence uses many images from different parts of these streets, it can be hard to piece together. Look for the 7-11, the Bank of the Orient, the Bank of Guam, and the Adam Grant building. The 7-11 is particularly fun as they crash right in front it! On the right hand side of the page, click on the category 'The Chase' to see the entire chase sequence.

Location Notes: We visited on a Sunday. A bike courier arrived and let us into the lobby (the outside doors were locked). The security guard at the desk gave us the ok for lobby photos. Another option is taking a tour: Diego Riviera Mural Tour. Also, Echo fought Agents on the roof of this building!

Joe & the Juice, 235 Montgomery Street
Mon-Fri 7 am - 7 pm
Sat-Sun 8 am - 5 pm
​

Location Notes: It's easy to find this classic building on Montgomery Street. It's just down the street from 44 Montgomery, the building where they did the jump at the end of the film. MacLean notes that Lana Wachowski appreciated the gothic architecture and arched windows of this particular building. Wachowski had a preference for gothic architechture, semi-circular windows, and a brutalist style. Joe & The Juice does make a good Cortado.
