Wade Watts (Sheridan) discovers clues to a hidden game within the program that 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.
In 2045, the world is on the brink of chaos and collapse. But the people have found salvation in the OASIS, an expansive virtual reality universe created by the brilliant and eccentric James Halliday (Mark Rylance). When Halliday dies, he leaves his immense fortune to the first person to find a digital Easter egg he has hidden somewhere in the OASIS, sparking a contest that grips the entire world. When an unlikely young hero named Wade Watts (Tye Sheridan) decides to join the contest, he is hurled into a breakneck, reality-bending treasure hunt through a fantastical universe of mystery, discovery and danger.

Miller as i-R0k, a freelance weapons / magic item dealer and bounty hunter that is often employed by IOI. Simon Pegg as Ogden Morrow / the Curator, a co-creator of the OASIS who eventually left the company due to personal reasons and harbors a concern about how much people have grown to have an unhealthy dependency on the game.

Philip Zhao as Sho, a Gunter and younger brother to Daito. Win Morisaki as Daito, a Gunter and older brother to Sho.
