The movie "Pixels" begins with a flashback of Sam, a skinny guy, competing in a video game championship. He meets Ludlow, a quirky gamer, and befriends the future President of the United States, Cooper. Years later, Sam is a sad cable installer, while Cooper is the President.
Aliens, who received a video of the championship from NASA, misinterpret it as a declaration of war. They start attacking Earth with video game characters, turning people into pixels. The government recruits Sam, Ludlow, and Cooper to help defeat the aliens.
They gather a team, including the cheating champion "Flamethrower," to play video games against the aliens. The humans win their first battle against a giant worm, but the aliens threaten to destroy the planet due to cheating.
The team must enter the alien ship and play one last game of Donkey Kong to save the planet. With the truth revealed about Flamethrower's cheating, Sam gains confidence and defeats the game, destroying the aliens' plan and saving the Earth. The movie ends with the humans celebrating their victory, and Sam winning the heart of Violet, a single mother.
