"The Matrix", like Catspaw129 said.
Early in the movie, when the gang was getting ready to yank Neo out of the matrix, Switch calls him "coppertop". What that meant wasn't explained until later, when Morpheus held up a Duracell battery, but he didn't make the connection explicit. The script depended on the audience knowing that Duracells were colloquially known as "coppertops".
Edited: I thought it was Cypher who called him "coppertop", but Catspaw129 is right, it was Switch.
