Preorder or buy the new Amazon Fire TVs—the most expensive rings in around $600.After betting his reputation, his company, and his financial future on the success of Tetris, Henk has no choice but to go to Russia and try to convince the game’s creator, Alexey Pajitnov , that he’s a capitalist worth trusting.
Thus begins the film’s balancing act between Henk’s Steve Jobs-esque evangelism for the game, and the lengths he’s willing to go to wrest Tetris from the hyper-protective, isolationist Soviet machine. The film’s first act works to convince us that the game is worth fighting for, while the rest of the story takes us into the heart of Moscow at a time when tensions within the Soviet Union are high, and the whole Communist bloc is on the verge of crumbling.
