Eddie Murphy is back in action with a brand-new comedy that’s just landed on streaming.
“The Pickup,” a heist comedy featuring Murphy alongside Pete Davidson, is now available to watch free for Prime Video subscribers.
In the film, Murphy and Davidson star as an unlikely pair of armored truck drivers whose routine shift takes a wild turn when they’re targeted by a group of criminals, led by the cunning Zoe (played by Keke Palmer). What starts as a simple job spirals into a chaotic, high-stakes ordeal they’re barely prepared for.
Here’s what to know before watching “The Pickup.”
“The Pickup” was released on Prime Video today, Aug. 6.
