Steven Spielberg’s latest blockbuster Ready Player One is a blend of futurism and nostalgia.

The film, getting its European premiere at Leicester Square on Monday, takes Ernest Cline’s novel and imagines a world where people can enter Oasis, a system that allows people to live out their fantasies.

That is the cue for a wallow in some favourites of popular culture, including Superman and Back To The Future.
