'Does this sound familiar? It should, becaues it's the basis of not only The Matrix, but The Terminator as well. Sophia Stewart successfully sued Joel Silver (the producer of both Terminator and The Matrix seris) and the Wachowski Brothers for copying her story. According to some sources, the Wachowski Brothers regularly referred to her manuscript while making the Matrix.'
Actually, she didnt successfully sue any of them, the case was dismissed as she didnt even show up for court...
