"Mona Lisa Overdrive" is a composition in B-flat minor, featured in the movie The Matrix Reloaded, during the highway chase scene. It is written by Don Davis in collaboration with the electronica act Juno Reactor, representing a blend of film score music and trance. The track is the fifth entry in the second CD in the film soundtrack, released on 15 May 2003.[3] A different version of the song is featured in Juno Reactor's 2004 album, Labyrinth.[4] A remix of the song was produced by Thomas P. Heckmann and was included on the group's remix album Inside the Reactor in 2011.[5] In April 2026, the track was reimagined by Reaky Reason.[6]
The song title is derived from William Gibson's cyberpunk novel of the same name, published in 1988. The Matrix franchise was heavily influenced by Gibson's writing.
