Amazon MGM Studios has officially announced that the highly anticipated action comedy The Pickup will premiere on Prime Video on August 6th. Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Tim Story, the movie promises an adrenaline-fueled blend of humor and suspense that will captivate audiences.
The film stars a dynamic ensemble cast featuring Eddie Murphy, Keke Palmer, Pete Davidson, Eva Longoria, Ismael Cruz Cordova, Jack Kesy, Andrew Dice Clay, Marshawn Lynch, and Joe “Roman Reigns” Anoa’i. At the heart of The Pickup is an intense, unpredictable storyline where two mismatched armored truck drivers, Russell (Murphy) and Travis (Davidson), find themselves caught in a deadly ambush. Their attackers, led by the cunning Zoe (Palmer), have far more sinister plans than simply stealing cash.
As the chaos escalates, this unlikely duo is forced to confront not only the physical dangers surrounding them but also their conflicting personalities—turning a routine cash pickup into a high-stakes battle for survival. The film’s mix of action-packed sequences and sharp comedic moments offers a fresh take on the action comedy genre.
The Pickup aims to be a standout entry in this year’s slate of action comedies—combining star power, clever storytelling, and edge-of-your-seat excitement into one must-watch movie event this summer.
