Una razza aliena scambia le immagini dei vecchi videogame per una dichiarazione di guerra e attacca la terra usando i giochi stessi come modelli per i loro assalti. Il Presidente degli Stati Uniti chiama allora il suo amico d’infanzia Sam Brenner (Adam Sandler), un campione di videogame negli anni ’80, per difendere la terra. Il destino del nostro pianeta è nelle mani di un improbabile team di nostalgici giocatori.
