The Watch
Got protection?
Directed by Akiva Schaffer
Produced by 21 Laps Entertainment
A comedic action-sci-fi romp about suburban friendship and male bonding that uses alien invasion as a backdrop for escapism and camaraderie.
Four everyday suburban guys come together as an excuse to escape their humdrum lives one night a week. But when they accidentally discover that their town has become overrun with aliens posing as ordinary suburbanites, they have no choice but to save their neighborhood – and the world – from total extermination.
