Taron Egerton plays Henk Rogers, the video game designer and producer who helped bring the ’80s video game Tetris out of the Soviet Union and into the hands of the world via the GameBoy. Following the beats of a heist thriller, Apple’s Tetris recreates a historical series of events with a flair and drama usually reserved for spy movies.

Look I’m sold Egerton delivers his lines with a sort of manic sincerity, the subtle video game touches are light and fun, and the friendship between inventor Alexey Pajitnov (Nikita Efremov) and Rogers is the kind of “Dudes Rock” underdog story I’m passionate about Here is . The synthesizer production of Europe’s “The Final Countdown”? Genius.
While there is clearly some embellishment here, this is based on a true story; Video games were serious business in the ’80s and ’90s (as they are today), and some of the power struggles were as global as the battle for Tetris. The film is directed by Jon S. Baird and written by Noah Pink. Both Henk Rogers and Alexy Pajitnov, who currently serve as Tetris brand stewards through the Tetris Company they co-founded in 1996, are producers on the film.
Tetris premieres worldwide on Apple TV+ on March 31st.
