In the early 1980's when arcade games were of the norm, the government plans to contact alien life with popular culture known as video games backfired once the aliens see Galaga, Space Invaders, and E.T. as an offense to their race and start to attack the Earth with video games! (Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, E.T., etc) Humanity's only hope in saving the earth are none other than kids who played video games, together they command the US Army to stand up against the video game armada by following the rules of the games! Think of it as like Stranger Things meets Goonies meets Monster Squad meets Gremlins meets Ghostbusters meets Edge of Tomorrow meets Independence Day with Video Game Characters (With a Jurassic World-esque Mario vs Donkey Kong fight scene!) Rated PG-13: Thematic Material, Language, Scary Images, Suggestive Comments and Intense Sequences of Sci-Fi Violence and Action Throughout
