“Play for the planet.”
Director
Chris Columbus
Screenplay
Tim Herlihy, Timothy Dowling
When aliens misread recordings of classic video games sent into space in the eighties and take them for a declaration of war, they attack Earth by materializing arcade characters as giant weapons. Desperate, the President of the United States turns to his childhood friends, former arcade champions now turned middle-aged failures, the only ones who know the patterns to defeat Pac-Man, Donkey Kong or the Space Invaders. An action sci-fi comedy that turns New York into a board of pixels and eighties nostalgia.
