The official synopsis reads:
“Tetris” tells the unbelievable story of how one of the world's most popular video games found its way to avid players around the globe.

Based on a true story, “Tetris” is a Cold War–era thriller on steroids, with double-crossing villains, unlikely heroes, and a nail-biting race to the finish.
