Pixels is a 2015 American-Chinese science fiction action comedy film co-produced and directed by Chris Columbus and written by Tim Herlihy and Timothy Dowling, from a story by Herlihy. A feature-length adaptation of French director Patrick Jean's 2010 short film of the same name, the film stars Adam Sandler (who also co-produced the film), Kevin James, Josh Gad, Peter Dinklage, Michelle Monaghan, Brian Cox, Ashley Benson, Sean Bean and Jane Krakowski. Combining computer-animated video game characters and visual effects, Pixels follows aliens misinterpreting video feed of classic arcade games as a declaration of war, resulting in them invading planet Earth using technology inspired by games such as Pac-Man, Space Invaders, Arkanoid, Galaga, Centipede and Donkey Kong. To counter the alien attack, the United States hires former arcade champions to lead the planet's defense. Principal photography on the film began on May 28, 2014 in Toronto; filming was completed in three months.

Produced by Columbus's 1492 Pictures and Sandler's Happy Madison Productions, Pixels was released theatrically by Columbia Pictures/Sony Pictures Releasing in the United States on July 24, 2015 in 2D, 3D and IMAX 3D formats. The film grossed $244 million worldwide on a production budget of $88–129 million

At a video game arcade in 1982 with his friend Will Cooper, 13-year-old Sam Brenner discovers he can master the games by spotting patterns. Participating in a video game championship, he loses in a match with obnoxious arcade player Eddie "The Fireblaster" Plant in Donkey Kong. A videocassette with footage of the event is included in a time capsule that is launched into space.

In the present day, Brenner has become an installer of home-theater systems while Cooper is the disliked President of the United States. In Guam, a U.S. military base is besieged by an extraterrestrial force attacking in the form of Galaga that turn pieces of the base into small glowing cubes and one of the soldiers is abducted.
