Pixels

Pixels is a 2015 American 3D live-action/computer animated comedy film based on Patrick Jean's 2010 video-game themed short film of the same name. The film stars Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Josh Gad, Peter Dinklage, Michelle Monaghan, Brian Cox, Ashley Benson, and Jane Krakowski. When aliens misinterpret video-feeds of classic arcade games as a declaration of war, they attack the Earth, using the games as models for their various assaults. The President of the United States, William Cooper (Kevin James), calls upon his childhood best friend, former 1980s video game champion Sam Brenner (Adam Sandler), who is now a home theatre installer and had a previous relationship with William's wife (Jane Krakowski), to lead a team of old-school arcaders (Peter Dinklage and Josh Gad) to defeat the aliens and save the planet.
