The Forest King
6.4
Set in a suffocating over-commercialized future, a young boy's desire for success and status leads him into a terrifying and deadly new reality through the lens of a mysterious VR game. His desperate father must now race against both time and technology to save his dying son. But the boy is the only one who can save himself, and he must do it before becoming another faceless pawn of the Forest King. Adapted from the poem "The Forest Tsar" written in 1818 by Vasiliy Zhukovsky.
