Ready Player One

2018 | 140 min | K-12 | action, adventure, sci-fi

In 2045, the real world is a harsh place. Wade Watts only feels truly alive when he escapes to the OASIS, the modern virtual universe where the majority of humanity spends its days. In OASIS, you can go anywhere, do anything and be anyone – the only limit is your own imagination.

The OASIS was created by the brilliant but eccentric James Halliday, who bequeathed his vast fortune and full control of the OASIS to the winner of a three-part competition he devised. When Wade, whose virtual name is Parzival, manages to pass the first challenge, he is pursued by the infamous IOI company, which wants the OASIS to pump it full of ads. Fortunately, Watts has the help of friends who want to stop IOI’s henchmen and its ruthless leader from carrying out their plans.

Wade and his friends – the so-called Upper Five – throw themselves into a universe full of mysteries and dangers to save the OASIS. Directed by Steven Spielberg. As actors, e.g. Tye Sheridan, Olivia Cooke and Ben Mendelsohn.

For media educator

The main character of Ready Player One, Wade, is an orphan, a boy from a poor background, who believes and trusts in goodness and humanity even inside a computer-generated game. In the Cinderella story, a rich and power-hungry corporation is unequivocally evil, while nerds who love popular culture are good.
