Masters of classic video games including Donkey Kong, Pac Man, and Space Invaders have to team up to take down the characters who’ve come to life and are attacking Earth in the new trailer for Pixels. Directed by Chris Columbus (Harry Potter 1 & 2, Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief), the human cast is led by Adam Sandler and includes Game of Thrones‘ Peter Dinklage, Kevin James, Josh Gad, and Michelle Monaghan.

Pixels will open in theaters on July 24, 2015.

The Plot:

As kids in the 1980s, Sam Brenner Sandler), Will Cooper (James), Ludlow Lamonsoff (Gad), and Eddie “The Fire Blaster” Plant (Dinklage) saved the world thousands of times – at 25 cents a game in the video arcades.  Now, they’re going to have to do it for real.

In Pixels, when intergalactic aliens discover video feeds of classic arcade games and misinterpret them as a declaration of war, they attack the Earth, using the video games as the models for their assaults — and now-U.S. President Cooper must call on his old-school arcade friends to save the world from being destroyed by PAC-MAN, Donkey Kong, Galaga, Centipede, and Space Invaders.  Joining them is Lt. Col. Violet Van Patten (Monaghan), a specialist supplying the arcaders with unique weapons to fight the aliens.
