Ready Player One

People play online games so they can escape the callousness of this world and just cyberbully.

The troll in this sci-fi film, however, is actually the head of a tech conglomerate.

When the fan-boy creator of OASIS dies, he bequeaths jurisdiction of said online virtual reality world to the player that can locate three keys - or Easter eggs - hidden inside of his referential universe.

Accepting the challenge is an improvised gamer (Tye Sheridan) trying to escape his real world existence; a famed Easter egg hunter (Olivia Cooke); and a CEO (Ben Mendelsohn) looking to enslave OSAIS avatars.
