Background
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow. After a catastrophic war where Man lost against a race of intelligent Machines they originally created, humans are grown in massive fields by the Machines and placed in pods where they live out their lives in a virtual reality, unaware that they are living in a dream world. In return for this captivity where humans are kept docile, the Machines gain the use of the human brains as subprocessing units for the Matrix as well as generating some electrical power from their bodies - effectively creating a massive powerplant.
The job of Zion hovercraft crews were to find human minds within the Matrix that questioned its reality and have their minds ejected from the Matrix and their bodies removed from the powerplant. To do this, they met with the person in secret, away from Agents or others who could jeopardize the operation or the safety of the crew. In the The Matrix films, Zion was the last human city, which existed deep underground to hide itself from its enemies as well as for warmth. ...

Machines that tend the powerplant would automatically sense that the person was awake, disconnect their support cables and eject their body from the powerplant into the cold, ancient sewer system of the dead world. The hovercraft crew would rescue the person, repair damage or remove unneeded devices on the person's body, and perform other rehabilitation to allow the person to live, freed from the Matrix, in the real world.
Exiting the Matrix can be traumatic, particularly to those who have lived in it for too long. As a rule, crews normally recover minds only while they are young, no older than teen-age. After that, the risk of denial and psychotic episodes from the reality of separation could increase. This rule was violated by Morpheus in rescuing Neo, who was approximately 30 years old. Morpheus in The Matrix Revolutions Morpheus as he styled himself in The Matrix Reloaded Morpheus is the name of a fictional character (played by Laurence Fishburne) in the science fiction films, The Matrix, The Matrix Reloaded, and The Matrix Revolutions. ...
Trivia The use of a red pill is an allusion to the use a similar device in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. The Matrix movies commonly use references from this other work of fiction.
