🎬 What Is ‘The Pickup’ About?
Get ready for a comedy-meets-chaos kind of ride! The Pickup follows armored truck drivers Russell (Eddie Murphy) and Travis (Pete Davidson) on a cash run that goes completely off the rails when they’re ambushed by a crew of professional criminals.
Leading the charge? Zoe, a strategic and sharp mastermind played by the always-fierce Keke Palmer.
But this isn’t your typical stick-up. Zoe has bigger plans than just the money, and Russell and Travis have no choice but to stick together—despite being total opposites—if they want to make it out of this mess in one piece.
