How to watch Taron Egerton’s new movie Tetris online at home
Taron Egerton’s new movie Tetris is out now and streaming on Apple TV+.
The movie tells the true story of how the video game Tetris, invented in the USSR, became one of the most played games in the world.
Egerton stars as Henk Rogers, who travelled to the Communist nation in an attempt to secure the international rights to Tetris, and became friends with Alexey Pajitnov, the game’s inventor.
The film follows Henk as he tries to deal with the secretive and restrictive Russian government amid interference from a group of British investors, led by billionaire media mogul Robert Maxwell, who wanted to win the rights for themselves.

It’s Taron Egerton’s first leading role in a movie since he played Elton John in 2019’s Rocketman, for which he won a Golden Globe and was nominated for a BAFTA.
He has since been nominated for a TV BAFTA at the upcoming ceremony for his role in the Apple TV+ mini series Black Bird, in which he again played a real life character – the prisoner Jimmy Keene, who worked with the FBI to try and elicit a confession from suspected serial killer Larry Hall.
In an exclusive interview with Digital Spy, Egerton spoke about why he decided to star in Tetris, another project based on a true story.
“I thought that if I don’t know it, most people hopefully don’t know, which makes it worthy of being made into a movie,” he explained.
“It’s just such a crazy story. It’s always a good sign if the script’s a real page-turner and it’s not a struggle to get through. Sometimes you get sent stuff and it feels like a chore, you definitely shouldn’t be making those films,” he added.
“Loved the script, loved the story. It’s slightly unbelievable, so I’m glad to be a part of it.”
