In 1986, he starred in the film <: Young blood > ("Young Blood"), this first official job in Hollywood brought Keanu $3,. In 1987, Keanu attracted the attention of directors and critics for his role as a rebellious youth in The River's Edge. In 1989, Keanu soon got a role in "Bill and Ted's Extraordinary Adventure". This is a light comedy full of fantasy. In the film, he plays a young guitarist who is on cloud nine. When he just debuted, he acted the boy like a "son of nature" and was amiable. From then on, keanu reeves gradually became known, became the idol of American teenagers, and got the opportunity to perform in the historical film "Dangerous Liaisons". Among the films that keanu reeves took part in, dangerous liaisons was a great success, which made keanu reeves, who played a supporting role in the film, become popular at one fell swoop and established his position in Hollywood.
At the same time, keanu reeves also began to try to broaden his career. In films such as "Parenthood" in 1989 and "I Love You Death" in 1991, he showed a leisurely and elegant performance style, and in "Point Break", he made his first appearance in an action movie and played the role of a policeman. Although not popular, it also shows his potential in this respect. In 1991, he participated in the filming of "My Own Private Idaho" directed by Garth Van Sant, which is a gay movie. During this period, he began to try a variety of performance styles to prove his versatility. Especially in 1992, keanu reeves played a supporting role in Coppola's famous vampire-themed film "Bream Storker's Dracula".

In 1993, Keanu was "hand-picked" by the famous Italian director Bertucci and played the leading role of Prince Siddhartha in his film "Little Buddha". This is a very difficult role. In order to play this role well, he also deliberately read a lot of Buddhist books and lost weight. Perhaps it is keanu reeves's quarter of oriental descent that makes him born with an extremely pure and simple temperament, which makes him a good candidate to play "little buddha".

Keanu Reeves was in a state of exhaustion almost all the time: first, he saved the people trapped in the high-speed elevator of the skyscraper, then he performed jumping and drilling under the car, and flew over the viaduct with the heroine sandra bullock until the hero finally saved the Americans. The image of keanu reeves in this film rewrites the tradition of "mature middle age" of Hollywood heroes. He is quick-witted, agile and has a handsome face. The success of Speed of Life and Death also pushed his momentum to the top.
After Speed, Keanu played a computer librarian in Johnny Memonic, and keanu reeves's performance in the film was even ridiculed as "more like a robot than a robot" because the whole film was made sloppily. Then he played a salesman who retired from World War II in "A walk in the Clouds", a scientific researcher in "Chain Reaction", an unknown writer in "Feeling Minnesota" and "The Devil's Advocate's Advocate". In just a few years, he played many different roles, and his position in Hollywood gradually weakened because he tried to keep his distance from mainstream producers and his selected independent films didn't sell well. After The Devil's Advocate, he didn't get a Hollywood screenplay for half a year.
