Nearly 40 years after its creation, Tetris continues to command an imposing cachet as possibly the most iconic video game of all time. While video games have since evolved by leaps and bounds, Tetris has retained its claim to fame as one of the most recognizable games in history and a giant in the nascent video games industry. It is also one of the best-selling video games, with over 520 million units sold to date. The addictive puzzle game is timeless – and its popularity is made even more incredible by the unlikely story behind it. If not for the intrepid actions and determination of Dutch video game designer and entrepreneur Henk Rogers, the world might never have known the joy of rotating, moving, and dropping blocks.
Tetris the movie is a dramatic retelling of that story, told in an almost light-hearted fashion with a frisson of danger. There is a certain inevitability to the tale – we all know that Henk was successful in securing the global rights to distribute the game – but there is just enough intrigue to keep viewers at the edge of their seats.
