'It's poetry, art and math working in magical synchronicity. It's the perfect game,' proclaims entrepreneur Henk Rogers in 1988, in the movie Tetris about the addictive, ubiquitous video game. Apple TV+ said the film was, 'inspired by the true story of how [Rogers] risked his life to outsmart the KGB and turn Tetris into a worldwide sensation.' Rogers, who is portrayed by actor Taron Egerton in the movie, attended the University of Hawaiʻi Mānoa in the 1970s, and studied computer science. Today he is the president of the Tetris Company and the founder of companies and non-profit organizations focused on renewable energy, space exploration and ending the use of fossil fuels.
