My name is Wade Watts.
My dad picked that name because it sounded like a superheroe's alter ego
Like Peter Parker or Bruce Banner.
But he died when I was a kid. My mom, too
And I ended up here.
Sitting here in my tiny corner of nowhere
There's nowhere left to go
Nowhere....
Except The OASIS!
A whole virtual universe
People come to The OASIS for all the things they can do
but they stay, because of all the things they can be!
Can you feel this?
Yeh...
It's the only place that feels like I mean anything.
 
The OASIS was the brainchild of James Halliday
Hello. If you're watching this, I'm dead..
I created a hidden object, ...
... an Easter Egg.
The first person to find the egg will inherit half a trillion dollars ...
... and total control of the OASIS itself.
Who is this, Parzival?
..and how the hell is he winning?
Find him.
This isn't  just a game.
I'm talking about acutal life and death stuff.
The OASIS....
The world's most important economic resource.
It's nothing less than a war,
for control of the future.
Welcome to the Rebellion, Wade.
Like many of you, I only came here to escape,
But I found something much bigger than just myself.
Are you willing to fight?
Help us save The OASIS.
