In Pixels, intergalactic aliens misinterpret video-feeds of classic arcade games as a declaration of war against them and attack the Earth, using the games as models for their various assaults.
US President Will Cooper has to call on his childhood best friend, '80s videogame champion Sam Brenner, now a home theatre installer, to lead a team of old-school arcaders to defeat the aliens and save the planet.
Joining them is Lt Col Violet Van Patten, a specialist supplying the arcaders with unique weapons to fight the aliens.
Pixels stars Adam Sandler, Michelle Monaghan, Peter Dinklage, Josh Gad, Kevin James, Jane Krakowski, Brian Cox, Ashley Benson, Sean Bean and James Preston Rogers.
The film is directed by Chris Columbus (Mrs Doubtfire, Harry Potter) and set for a New Zealand release on September 23.
