The new Eddie Murphy & Pete Davidson-starring heist comedy The Pickup is set to arrive on Prime Video in August. Prime Video announced that the Tim Story-directed film, which also stars Eva Longoria and WWE star Roman Reigns, will release on August 6th on the streaming service.

The film is written by Kevin Burrows & Matt Mider and stars Murphy, Davidson, Longoria, Reigns, Marshawn Lynch, Andrew Dice Clay, and Ismael Cruz Córdova. It is described as follows:

In the action-comedy The Pickup, a routine cash pickup takes a wild turn when two mismatched armored truck drivers, Russell (Eddie Murphy) and Travis (Pete Davidson), are ambushed by ruthless criminals led by a savvy mastermind, Zoe (Keke Palmer), with plans that go way beyond the cash cargo. As chaos unfolds around them, the unlikely duo must navigate high-risk danger, clashing personalities, and one very bad day that keeps getting worse.
