Full Plot Details

World 1-1 is the first in a documentary series on the history of video games. This chapter is about Atari and how they created a new industry. It focuses on the business deals, the personalities of the pioneers, and the creations of the engineers. This documentary will be a combination of interviews, archival footage, and reflection that retells the story to a new generation that may not know the roots of their favorite hobby. World 1-1 will follow the early games before the arcade machine even existed. It will tell the story of how Atari created the games industry years before it should have happened and follow the lucky deals and unfortunate mistakes that almost destroyed the entire industry just as quickly as it was born. Atari was the fastest growing company in the United States at the time. It kickstarted Steve Jobs' career, as well as others. The world's first successful arcade machine was built there, along with the first popular home console. Atari and its engineers formed the games industry we know today. It's time to tell this story, from the words of the creators themselves.

Movie Reviews

The Skinny - 6/10 by Darren CarleAs a document of an era that has become as influential in popular culture as any movie or music genesis, this is a tale that deserves to be told.
User Review - 10/10 by Roberto DThis movie was very informative for those like myself that didn't know too much about the beginnings of the video game industry. The film goes through several key points, such as how the games or consoles came to be and the business side of things, which is just as important. The interviewees were asked the right questions and the great editing created a great story for the film.
User Review - 10/10 by Bob RNicely done documentary following the history of video gaming seen mostly through developments at Atari (Inc and Corp) as recounted by the people who were actually there and who contributed to making video gaming a part of our world. I lived through the era and it was good to see such a complete treatment of the history as seen through the eyes of the actual participants. It's a little over 2 hours and I was fully engaged the entire time.
User Review - 10/10 by Michael WI loved this film. The insight into the early days of video game history fascinated me. The amount of detail gave me a real window into how different things were back when my favorite story-telling medium was starting out. The interviews were fantastic and those they consulted with had a clear passion for gaming that shines through in this documentary. There were times I was grinning like a fool when something I was familiar with came up like the mention of how Activision got their start. Overall I am better off for having seen this film because I gained more information and appreciation for Video Games. Can't wait to see the next one.
User Review - 10/10 by Melissa BThis documentary is perfect for game addicts, especially the very beginning of games and how it all started and each person involved tells their story of this amazing journey on how Atari started. Amazing view and picture as well! A+++
User Review - 10/10 by Pipo ZWorld 1-1 is an independent documentary on the early history of video games but I saw the premier and this is more about entrepreneurship, startups and creating a company culture as well. I highly recommend you watch it and support the 2 filmmakers that created it, lots of hard work!
User Review - 10/10 by Arturo GFittingly enough, the title of this film strikes into the very core of my being. The first time I ever played a video game, the title across the screen read "World 1-1". It would be the beginning of a journey that will last a lifetime. Although video games are one of my few passions, I knew very little about its history and how it began. This film, the first of any kind I've encountered, fills that void. It dives into the birth of the video game industry and how it nearly vanished. What makes this film so unique is the very people who sparked the industry are telling the story. You don't need to be a "hardcore" gamer to enjoy and/or appreciate this story. If you are just a casual gamer or remotely interested in this story, I highly recommend this film. This, in my opinion, is a diamond in the rough.
