It's also a movie brimming with easter eggs and nods to other movies, TV shows, comics, video games, with everything from Akira to King Kong namechecked. The movie was mostly well-received critically and was a solid success at the box-office. Ready Player One was adapted into a blockbuster in 2018 and there were really few filmmakers bettter suited to helming it than Steven Spielberg, especially since his work had been a big inspiration on Cline's book. Naturally, many of them choose to play as their favorite pop culture characters, while hero Wade - AKA Parzival - and his friends hunt for a hidden easter egg left behind by the OASIS' late creator James Halliday. This virtual world allows people to escape their dreary dystopian reality as they escape into a universe where they can be or do anything they wish.

Ernest Cline's novel Ready Player One was published in 2011, with the story focusing on the VR world of the OASIS. Here's where to spot Duke Nukem's brief cameo appearance in Ready Player One.
