Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Josh Gad and Peter Dinklage star in this part-animated comedy directed by Chris Columbus. Back in 1982, NASA sent a time capsule into space containing an insight into life on Earth including the video games Pac-Man, Donkey Kong and Space Invaders. Now, the aliens who received this information seemingly misinterpreted the message as an act of war and created their own versions of the video games to attack and invade Earth. Previously ridiculed for their obsession with the games, it is now left to the President of the United States Will Cooper (James) and his childhood friends Sam Brenner (Sandler), Ludlow Lamonsoff (Gad) and Eddie Plant (Dinklage) to use their gaming skills to save the world from giant, man-eating, pixelated figures.
