REALITY WILL NEVER BE THE SAME. Arcade is the ultimate gaming experience, with state-of-the-art virtual reality systems that create a whole new player experience. But Arcade is dangerous. Arcade has a mind of its own. And, as high-schooler Alex (Megan Ward – Party of Five) and her friends are about to discover, Arcade doesn't like to lose. Written by David Goyer (The Dark Knight), produced by genre legend Charles (Trancers) Band and directed by Albert Pyun (Cyborg, Captain America), Arcade is a surprisingly prescient warning against the dangers of computer tech, complete with quality early-1990s digital effects. 88 Films are proud to present a true classic of straight-to-video movie making.
