The film also stars Kevin James, Michelle Monaghan, Peter Dinklage, Josh Gad, and Brian Cox alongside a host of classic games characters including Pac-Man and Donkey Kong.
When intergalactic aliens misinterpret video-feeds of classic arcade games as a declaration of war against them, they attack the Earth, using the games as models for their various assaults.
