The story centers on a man from the future, played by Sam Rockwell, who storms into a Los Angeles diner with a mission: recruit a carefully selected mix of diners to undertake a one-night, six-block quest to save humanity from a rogue artificial intelligence. As the trailer shows, this mission blends absurd humor, high-stakes tension, and sharp commentary on technology and human fallibility. Think of it as a sci-fi thriller wrapped in wacky, clever comedy, where survival—and recruitment—depends on unlikely heroes.
Joining Rockwell are Michael Peña, Juno Temple, Haley Lu Richardson, Zazie Beetz, Asim Chandhry, and Tom Taylor, each bringing personality and humor to this quirky ensemble. The stakes are cosmic, but the characters are grounded and relatable, ensuring the narrative balances spectacle with character-driven fun.
Verbinski’s direction shines in the trailer, combining kinetic visuals with his signature flair for blending comedy, tension, and imaginative world-building. The film’s screenplay by Matthew Robinson (Monster Trucks, Dora and the Lost City of Gold, Love and Monsters) injects witty dialogue, inventive plot twists, and playful critique of our obsession—and occasional cluelessness—around technology and AI.
Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die premiered at Fantastic Fest and Beyond Fest 2025, and early reactions praise its blend of humor, clever sci-fi concepts, and high-octane storytelling. With Verbinski at the helm, Rockwell leading the charge, and a colorful cast of characters, this looks like a must-watch for anyone who enjoys sci-fi with a twist of absurdity, heart, and adventure.
Get ready to buckle up for a one-night, six-block race against AI destruction—coming to theaters on February 13, 2026. It’s time to play, strategize, and yes… don’t die.
