Ready Player One Featurette

From filmmaker Steven Spielberg comes the action adventure “Ready Player One”, based on Ernest Cline’s bestseller of the same name.

In the year 2045, the real world is a harsh place. The only time Wade Watts (Tye Sheridan) truly feels alive is when he escapes to the OASIS, an immersive virtual universe where most of humanity spend their days. In the OASIS, you can go anywhere, do anything, be anyone—the only limits are your own imagination. The OASIS was created by the brilliant and eccentric James Halliday (Mark Rylance), who left his immense fortune and total control of the OASIS to the winner of a three-part contest he designed to find a worthy heir. When Wade conquers the first challenge of the reality-bending treasure hunt, he and his friends—known as the High Five—are hurled into a fantastical universe of discovery and danger to save the OASIS and their world.

Ahead of the release of  Ready Player One on Monday, Aug 6, on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray, Blu-ray 3D, Blu-ray and DVD, Steven Spielberg shares his vision…

Ready Player One is available on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray, Blu-ray 3D, Blu-ray and DVD from Monday, August 6th.
