Watch Tetris: Synopsis
Documenting the rise and falls of Tetris, the simple yet integral block busting video game that launched in the 1980s, Taron Egerton stars as Dutch video game designer and entrepreneur Henk Rogers, while Nikita Yefremov takes on the role of Alexey Pajitnov, the Soviet-born American computer engineer behind Tetris. With Apple TV Plus acquiring the rights to the movie following its SXSW Film Festival premiere, we explain below how to watch Tetris online where you are right now.
From conception to being played by the masses, Tetris documents the high-stakes legal battle which ultimately saw the intellectual property of the video game return to Pajitnov (Yefremov) and Rogers (Egerton), who helped to co-found the Tetris Company.
Egerton dubbed it "more [The] Social Network than Lego Movie" in an interview with GQ, continuing "it's an insane true story - at some point, the KGB were involved."
Also starring Toby Jones as Robert Stein and Togo Igawa as Hiroshi Yamuchi, the third president of Nintendo, read on for your guide on how to watch Tetris online and get a free trial with Apple TV Plus.
