Shot scene-for-scene with Legos plastic toys, Reddit user Snooperking animated every minute detail from Trinity running up walls and Neo cartwheeling while volleys of plastic bullets knock cubic chunks out of the walls. On [Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/2zwd5b/i%5Fremade%5Fthe%5Flobby%5Fscene%5Ffrom%5Fthe%5Fmatrix%5Fshot%5Ffor/ "undefined"), Snooperking said he toiled for approximately 160 hours to re-enact the iconic scene over three months. “I could only do like up to two hours a day before I got sick of it and had to play Battlefield,” Snooperking said. He selected the complex fight sequence to challenge himself to improve his animation skills, after creating a [_Star Wars_ Lego video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpfWrh1scZU&feature=youtu.be "undefined") in 2014. To get a sense of the sheer patience required to reconstruct the _Matrix_ scene with plastic Legos, Snooperking also offers a [behind-the-scene](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqwbqgGiYm4 "undefined") video. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3753658/matrix-legos-lobby-fight-scene-youtube-video/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3753658/matrix-legos-lobby-fight-scene-youtube-video/"},"headline":"Watch The Matrix Lobby-Fight Scene Re-Enacted With Legos","datePublished":"2015-03-23T08:32:16.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:17:53.311Z","description":"A Redditor spent at least 160 hours re-creating this scene","url":"https://time.com/3753658/matrix-legos-lobby-fight-scene-youtube-video/","keywords":["Newsfeed","movies","reddit","Appreciation","Videos","YouTube","video","Fans","Legos","tribute"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta7b4f3e3f72c3ba7/698784ae3c16395b3b4525fc/screen-shot-2015-03-23-at-4-25-51-pm.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Sabrina Toppa","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/sabrina-toppa/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta7b4f3e3f72c3ba7/698784ae3c16395b3b4525fc/screen-shot-2015-03-23-at-4-25-51-pm.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Lego Matrix Lobby Scene","caption":"Lego Matrix Lobby Scene","creditText":"","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3753658/matrix-legos-lobby-fight-scene-youtube-video/","name":"Watch The Matrix Lobby-Fight Scene Re-Enacted With Legos"}}]}] ```
