一群外星人化身經典電玩角色入侵地球，在世界各地陸續出現。它們透過實體接觸，將人類世界中的物品都變成一顆顆的像素粒粒，造成極大恐慌。國家安全局緊急召集幾個80年代的電玩高手，利用他們對遊戲本身的認知，對抗這趟毀滅性的入侵。這班「屈機奇兵」究竟要如何合作拯救地球？

When recently single Steven moves into his new apartment, cable guy Chip comes to hook him up—and doesn't let go. Initially, Chip is just overzealous in his desire to be Steven's pal, but when Steven tries to end the 'friendship', Chip shows his dark side. He begins stalking Steven, who's left to fend for himself because no one else can believe Chip's capable of such behaviour.
