Ready Player One

Ready Player One

Ready Player One is a 2018 science fiction adventure film about Wade Watts, an 18-year-old Gunter who discovers clues to a hidden game within the world's biggest virtual reality system, which promises the winner full ownership of the OASIS, and joins several allies to try to complete the game before indentured players working for a large company, run by Nolan Sorrento (Mendelsohn), can do so.

Break free.
Are you ready?
A better reality awaits.
An adventure too big for the real world.
Accept your reality or fight a better one.
First to the key!

[Toshiro pulls Sorrento out of the OASIS by taking off his VR headset, and points a gun at him, as does Wade.]

Wade Watts:
Where is she?

Nolan Sorrento:
How did you get in here?

Wade Watts:
Art3mis.

Nolan Sorrento:
Who?

Wade Watts:
Samantha Cook! Where is she?!

Nolan Sorrento:
If you want to talk, we can talk, but you gotta put that gun down.

Wade Watts:
You killed my mom's sister. You think I won't kill you?

Nolan Sorrento:
Whoa, whoa, whoa, just slow down, okay? That was a corporate decision. It was not personal.

Wade Watts:
WHERE IS SHE?!

Nolan Sorrento:
Uh, she's downstairs, in the Loyalty Center.

Wade Watts:
I know she's in the goddamn Loyalty Center! [advances on Sorrento] You're gonna tell me exactly which rig she's in, and the access code to contact her.

[Toshiro reinforces Wade's threat by placing his gun on Sorrento's rib.]

Nolan Sorrento:
Yeah, that seems appropriate.

[Wade walks towards the door.]

Toshiro:
Start with the access code.

Nolan Sorrento:
645-725.

Toshiro:
Where's the rig?

[Wade walks through a door, revealing Aech's workshop, and Aech and Sho's avatars on the other side, which in turn reveals that they're all in the Oasis. He confirms this by unmasking himself as his avatar, Parzival.]

Wade Watts:
I think he pissed himself.

Aech:
Good job, Z. We're in his account.

Sho:
So he really doesn't know he's in the Oasis?

Wade Watts:
[shows a screen to Sho] This is what Sorrento should be seeing. [shows another screen to Sho] But this, this is what we're making him see. We grabbed him in transit just as he was logging out of the Oasis, so he thinks he's back in his office in the real world, but actually, he's here, in the identical office that Aech built.

Sho:
So, you basically just remotely hacked his rig?

Aech:
A fixed rig like Sorrento's is easy to locate, but hard to hack.

Wade Watts:
Unless he's stupid enough to leave his password lying around.

Aech:
Loyalty Center, I'm in.

Wade Watts:
Okay, let's get to work.

Wade Watts:
Citizens of the Oasis, I am Parzival, first to the key. I'm here talking to all of you now because our future's being threatened, by people who will stop at nothing to win this contest. Some of you already know this, and you've lost 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 me. 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's kind of a groaner, but...I found love.

[Samantha smiles. In the Sixer war room, Sorrento watches with several Sixers.]

Wade Watts:
And I don't want to lose that to this colossal douchebag Nolan Sorrento!

Nolan Sorrento:
[laughs] Back to work, people. [signals to cut the screen as the Sixers move away]

Wade Watts:
He thinks that we're all too distracted to even notice-

[the screen gets cut, but Parzival can still be heard on another]

Wade Watts:
Nolan Sorrento thinks that we won't put up a fight!

IOI Staff Member #2:
Sir! Sir! This is going out live! It's absolutely everywhere!

Wade Watts:
And now we're supposed to hand him the Oasis?

[Sorrento wipes the broadcast from the employee's tablet. He goes into his office with two other employees. As Samantha escapes the room, they help Sorrento into his VR suit.]

Wade Watts:
He thinks that we won't even put up a fight! Well, I say he's wrong. I say tell that to the Gunter clans in the gold mines of Gygax!

Helen Harris:
Activate the Iron Giant.

[In Aech's workshop, the Iron Giant awakens and connects its top and bottom halves together.]

Wade Watts:
[as the Iron Giant and Sho stand next to him] 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, in the name of Aech, in the name of Daito and Sho, we ask you to join us on Planet Doom. [raises his fist] In the name of James Halliday himself, help us save the Oasis.
