For a decent documentary tracing the creation of Tetris, and the machinations that eventually brought it to the west (taking out part of Maxwell's Mirror empire along the way), find BBC4's "From Russia With Love". Last I checked it was available in full on Youtube, those of us in the UK can no doubt get it on iPlayer.

  Speaking of documentaries, there's also Ecstasy of Order: The Tetris Masters (2011) [1], which deals with the Classic Tetris World Championship.
