'''''Ready Player One''''' is a 2018
It tells the story of Wade Watts, an orphan raised by his aunt, who enters the game through his Avatar Parzival. He become one of the many "Gunters" on the hunt for an Easter Egg that the Game Creator, James Halliday, left behind prior to his death. Whoever gets the Easter Egg gains ownership of the company behind OASIS, as well as OASIS itself and all of Halliday's shares, worth up to half a trillion dollars. Along with Parzival, many people are after the egg for their own reasons:
* Aech, Parzival's best friend, a game mechanic who helps maintain busted vehicles and commissions various creations.
* Daito and Sho, a Samurai-and-Ninja-themed Gunter duo who mostly fight for coin and artifacts.
* Art3mis aka The Sixer Fixer, whom Parzival has a massive crush on, and a badass gunter who has a major grudge against the Sixer's boss.
Said boss is Nolan Sorrento, the CEO of Innovative Online Industries (IOI), the company that produces the many real world gadgets needed to access OASIS. Determined to gain control and ownership of OASIS, Sorrento employs a personal army of indentured servants, researchers and random gamers to find and solve the clues Halliday left behind.
After Parzival and his friends figures out the first two clue and solve the corresponding challenges, Sorrento focuses his attention on him, trying everything he can to get the egg. Parzival in returns works with his fellow Gunters in hopes to stop him.
With the exception of certain changes, the movie pretty much follows the same story as the book, even including as many pop cultural references the book itself has been known for.

{{quote| '''Parzival:''' {{Spoiler| Citizens of the OASIS: I'm Parzival, first to the key. I am here talking to all of you now because our future is threatened. For people who will not stop at nothing to win this contest. Some of you already know this. You have lost much more than just your avatars or your weapons. Some have lost their freedom. Some have lost their lives. And now, this. A force field around the third challenge. I only came here to escape the shitty hand that life dealt with. But I stayed, like many of you...because I found something much bigger than just myself. I found a cause. I found my friends And yes, I know it is kind of a groaner, but...I found love. And I don't wanna lose it to this colossal douchebag named Nolan Sorrento. He thinks that we're all too distracted to even notice...Nolan Sorrento thinks that we won't put up a fight. And now we're supposed to hand him the OASIS? He thinks that we won't even put up a fight. Well... I say he is wrong. I say, tell that to the gunter clans in the gold mines of Gygax. Ask yourselves... Are you willing to zero out for the OASIS? Are you willing to fight? I am Parzival of the HIGH five. In the name of Art3mis and in the name of Aech. In the name of Daito and Sho. We ask you to join us on planet Doom. In the name of James Halliday himself...Help us save the OASIS.}}}}
* [[The Tease]]: Art3mis does it non stop at The Distracted Globe. While both are dancing, she moves close to him asking if he [[Does This Remind You of Anything|came prepared]]. Asking what kind of Haptics he was wearing. First she rubs his arm which he can see and feel through his bootsuit. When he reveals he's got the X1, she slides under him, feeling him up from his thighs, to his crotch to up his torso. Which naturally he also feels in real life. {{spoiler| However the moment is ruined when he tries to confess his love and reveal his real name to her. As if things can't get any worse, The Sixers come in and crash the party in an attempt to kill both, Parzival and Art3mis.}}
* [[You! Get Me Coffee!]]: {{spoiler| Why Sorrento hates Halliday so much. He was an intern working at Gregarious Games and even expressed ideas for a membership program which could help the company profit more. However Halliday [[Innocently Insensitive|flat out ignores the ideas]], only complimenting him on getting his coffee order right.}}
