Eddie Murphy & Pete Davidson Go Off the Rails in Action-Comedy The Pickup

Eddie Murphy and Pete Davidson clash and crack up in The Pickup, a heist comedy with high stakes and wild laughs.

If you’ve ever wanted to see Eddie Murphy and Pete Davidson crash an armored truck full of jokes, bullets, and ego clashes—2025 just granted your wish. The official trailer for The Pickup has dropped, and it’s the chaotic comedy-action hybrid we didn’t know we needed. Directed by Tim Story (The Blackening, Barbershop, Ride Along), The Pickup is locked, loaded, and absolutely unhinged in the best way possible.

In a classic odd-couple setup, we meet Russell (Murphy), a seasoned armored truck driver with no time for nonsense, and Travis (Davidson), a younger, way-too-casual partner who probably shouldn’t be near firearms or money. What starts off as a routine cash pickup goes nuclear when Zoe (Keke Palmer), a whip-smart criminal mastermind with a plan way bigger than the vault, hijacks their route—and the film.

From brutal fistfights to laugh-out-loud blunders, The Pickup blends high-octane action and razor-edged humor. Keke Palmer absolutely shines in villain mode, giving us high-style, high-stakes energy as she orchestrates one of the wildest heists this side of Fast & Furious.

Also jumping into the fray? Eva Longoria, Andrew Dice Clay, Ismael Cruz Córdova, and WWE megastar Joe “Roman Reigns” Anoa’i—who seems right at home breaking bones in a security uniform. Oh, and did we mention Marshawn Lynch pops up? Because why not?

This one’s not just explosions and punchlines. The film rides on the friction and friendship that forms between Murphy’s old-school grit and Davidson’s wild card chaos. It’s giving 48 Hrs. for the TikTok era, with more car crashes, more f-bombs, and enough generational banter to fuel an entire subreddit.

The Pickup doesn’t just deliver the goods—it flips the damn truck.

Watch the trailer now and buckle up. This ride’s gonna get reckless.

The Pickup hits theaters later this year.
