Taron Egerton stars in the new Apple Original Film “Tetris,” inspired by the true story of one man’s daring efforts to outsmart the KGB and turn a simple puzzle game into a global phenomenon. Directed by Jon S. Baird and penned by Noah Pink, the film boasts an impressive lineup of producers, including Matthew Vaughn, Gillian Berrie, Claudia Vaughn, Len Blavatnik, and Gregor Cameron, with Iain MacKenzie serving as the Executive Producer.
“Tetris” takes audiences back to the 1980s, enveloping them in a nostalgic aesthetic accompanied by an immersive soundtrack that perfectly captures the era. The film deftly explores the geopolitical tensions of the Cold War and how they influenced the race to secure the Tetris license, offering a fascinating glimpse into this high-stakes drama.
In 1988, at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, Henk Rogers of Bullet-Proof Software discovered and became captivated by Tetris, a game developed by Soviet programmer Alexey Pajitnov, who worked for the government-owned ELORG in the Soviet Union.
Rogers explains to a bank manager that Robert Stein of Andromeda Software acquired the worldwide licensing rights to Tetris from ELORG. Stein then signed a contract with media tycoon Robert Maxwell and his son, Kevin Maxwell, the CEO of Mirrorsoft, granting them distribution rights in exchange for game royalties. At CES, a Mirrorsoft representative sells Rogers the Tetris rights for Japan, covering PC, console, and arcade platforms.
The cast delivers stellar performances, with Taron Egerton shining in the role of Henk Rogers. Egerton’s portrayal is emotional and convincing, bringing depth to a character caught in a web of international intrigue. The film’s direction and storytelling are top-notch, making the historical context engaging and accessible.
“Tetris” (2023) is a thrilling and captivating movie that not only tells the gripping true story behind one of the world’s most addictive games but also highlights the incredible risks taken to bring it to the masses. This film is a must-watch for anyone interested in the intersection of gaming, history, and global politics.
