15 Incredible Hidden Details You Missed In 2018 Movies

13. Best-Laid Plans - Ready Player One

Reeady Player One 237
Warner Bros.

Few films in 2018 were as rewarding when rewatched repeatedly as Steven Spielberg's Ready Player One. It was effectively a tome of references, absolutely bursting with Easter Eggs and meta gags designed to reflect the in-universe obsession with pop culture within The Oasis.

Spotting the Easter Eggs in there is rewarding enough, but Spielberg also cleverly hid other details in there, like the major hint at the location of the second task he (and Halliday) hid in one of his key memories.

In the flashback scene showing Sorrento getting Halliday his coffee, the great man's computer screen shows that he was working on the design for room 237 at the time of the conversation, revealing that The Shining was key. Somehow, Parcival missed that. So much for him being a champion Gunter.
