The Tetris trailer reveals that Henk Rogers (Egerton) was hooked the moment he first played the matching game.

The Plot:

Tetris tells the unbelievable story of how one of the world’s most popular video games found its way to avid players around the globe. Henk Rogers (Egerton) discovers Tetris in 1988 and then risks everything by traveling to the Soviet Union, where he joins forces with inventor Alexey Pajitnov (Efremov) to bring the game to the masses.

Based on a true story, Tetris is a Cold War–era thriller on steroids, with double-crossing villains, unlikely heroes, and a nail-biting race to the finish.
