In a dusty basement, three estranged childhood friends—John Cena, a fitness guru whose "smolder" is his only defense; Paul Rudd, a cynical guy who just wanted a quiet game night; and Winona Ryder, a paranoid local history buff—discover a relic from their past: a glitchy, unreleased 8-bit cartridge titled The Jungaji. Thinking it’s just a blast of nostalgia, they blow the dust off the pins and hit "Start." Big mistake. The console doesn't just play the game; it uploads the game into their reality. Suddenly, their quiet suburban neighborhood is being overwritten by low-res nightmare fuel. Pixilated piranhas with chainsaws for teeth burst through the plumbing, and the local flora starts sprouting Venus Flytraps that have a taste for more than just flies. As the trio is forced to complete the "levels" in real life, they realize the stakes are literal: every time Cena gets flattened like a pancake by a falling "8-bit" boulder, he has to wait for his character to respawn—usually in the most inconvenient (and messy) way possible. With Winona frantically translating the game's cryptic, glitchy riddles and Rudd trying to survive a literal "boss fight" in his own backyard, the three must finish the game before the Kill Screen erases their town from the map.
