READY PLAYER ONE

Video    Official Trailer 1 [HD]    2017

 

From filmmaker Steven Spielberg comes the 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.

 VR simulation designed

to model a real-life nuclear exchange        UK

 

The project, called the Nuclear Biscuit

in honour of the small card

bearing the president’s

launch authorisation code,

was built using insights from interviews

with former government officials

about what might happen

if the US appeared to be

under nuclear attack.

 

It’s designed

to help lawmakers better understand

the realities of nuclear armament.
