15 films that were shot based on the plots of famous computer games (17 photos)

Coming up with an original script for a film is another challenge. Sometimes it seems that literally every existing idea has been used in cinematography. Action films, horror films, thrillers - many of them are full of well-known plot schemes that have not surprised us for a long time.





However, it is too early to panic. Filmmakers always have a backup plan that they can use if their imagination leads to a dead end.

For example, some studios use plot motifs from computer games when filming films and TV series. This approach takes place because the developers put no less effort into creating an original setting and memorable characters. As a result, film makers have an excellent blank that just needs to be adapted to the film format. We invite you to familiarize yourself with the list of films that were shot exactly according to this principle.
