All the kids in town are dying to play the hot new video game Arcade. Trouble is once you play the game you can kiss reality goodbye. Arcade has seven levels of excitement, adventure, and terror for its players. The game transports you to another world with its stunning graphics, thrilling sound effects, and virtual reality simulation. It is the ultimate experience in a video game.
But excitement like this doesn’t come cheaply – when you battle with Arcade you’re putting your life on the line. The kids have accepted the challenge and are absorbed into the game. Only Alex and Nick realize that these mysterious disappearances are linked to Arcade. They must battle the game, alone.
Megan Ward, Peter Billingsley, John DeLancie, Sharon Farrell, Seth Green, A.J. Langer, Bryan Dattilo, and Norbert Weisser star.
Arcade features heavy use of CGI, which had to be completely redone after The Walt Disney Company threaten litigation due to the film’s sky cycles closely resembling Tron‘s light cycles.
