When aliens misinterpret 1980s arcade game footage as a declaration of war, they attack Earth using video game-inspired technology. To fight back, former arcade champions, now adults, are recruited to pilot real-life versions of classic video game characters such as Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, and Galaga. It’s a high-stakes battle of nostalgia, teamwork, and pixelated chaos.
