Set in 2045, with the world on the brink of chaos and collapse, but the
people have found salvation in the OASIS, an expansive virtual reality universe
created by the brilliant and eccentric James Halliday (Mark Rylance). When
Halliday dies, he leaves his immense fortune to the first person to find a
digital Easter egg he has hidden somewhere in the OASIS, sparking a contest that
grips the entire world. When an unlikely young hero named Wade Watts (Tye
Sheridan) decides to join the contest, he is hurled into a breakneck,
reality-bending treasure hunt through a fantastical universe of mystery,
discovery and danger.
“For those looking for Ready Player One to condemn the digi-verse as a
destructive force against human connection, find another movie.
Spielberg's mindbending joyride won't quit even when the head-spinning
spectacle hits sensory overload. Game on.”
“A rollicking adventure through worlds both bleak and fantastic,
Steven Spielberg's Ready Player One makes big changes to the specifics and
structure of Ernest Cline's best-selling novel but keeps the spirit and
level-up thrills intact.”
“Ready Player One will have you hooting if you did grow up in the
1980's or '90's. And if you didn't, it might make you wish
you did.”
