Answer: The Matrix

First of the "Matrix" movies, the 1999 film saw Neo (played by Keanu Reeves) come into his powers. The scene occurs in the moments before Neo meets with the Oracle. Neo's attention is drawn to the boy with monk-like appearance who appears to be bending a spoon with his mind.

In a philosophical moment, the boy observes: "Do not try and bend the spoon. That's impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth... There is no spoon... Then you'll see that it is not the spoon that bends; it is only yourself." Neo then does the same.
