The Pickup First Look Featuring Murphy, Davidson, and Palmer
Amazon MGM Studios has shared a first look at The Pickup, which will begin streaming globally on Prime Video on August 6, 2025.
The Pickup brings together two generations of comedy for an explosive and hilarious partnership that showcases the chemistry between old-school experience and new-wave energy.
Amazon MGM Studios says, “The film delivers heart-pounding thrills, sharp comedy, and unexpected mishaps — everyone’s in for a hilarious and wild ride.”
Directed by Tim Story, who’s known for his work on The Blackening, Barbershop, and Ride Along, the film blends high-octane action with sharp humor. Kevin Burrows and Matt Mider wrote the script.
The action-comedy The Pickup stars Eddie Murphy, Pete Davidson, Keke Palmer, Eva Longoria, Marshawn Lynch, Joe “Roman Reigns” Anoa’i, Andrew Dice Clay, and Ismael Cruz Córdova.
In the film, 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.
The Pickup was produced by John Davis, p.g.a., John Fox, p.g.a., Eddie Murphy, p.g.a., Tim Story, and Charisse Hewitt-Webster, p.g.a. With a runtime of 1 hour and 34 minutes, the movie is rated R for language throughout, some sexual references, and violence.
