| From filmmaker Steven Spielberg comes the science fiction action adventure "Ready Player One," |
| based on Ernest Cline's bestseller of the same name, which has become a worldwide phenomenon. |
| The film is 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. Spielberg directed the film from a |
| screenplay by Zak Penn and Ernest Cline. The film was produced by Donald De Line, Spielberg, |
