When intergalactic aliens misunderstand the video transmission of classic old arcade games as a declaration of war against them, they attack Earth. They use the games as templates for their various attacks. President Will Cooper (Kevin James) relies on his childhood friend, 80s video game champion Sam Brenner (Adam Sandler), who now works as a home theater installer, to lead a team of old school arcade gamers (Peter Dinklage and Josh Gad). Their mission is to defeat the aliens and save the planet. Lieutenant Colonel Violet Van Patten (Michelle Monaghan) assists the arcade gamers as an expert, equipping them with special weapons to help combat the extraterrestrials.
