Amazon MGM Studios has unveiled a streaming premiere date and a series of first-look stills for The Pickup, its new action comedy starring Eddie Murphy, Pete Davidson, and Keke Palmer.

The film premieres globally on Prime Video on August 6. Check out one of the stills above.

Directed by Tim Story, the filmmaker behind The Blackening, Barbershop and Ride Along, The Pickup sees a routine cash pickup take a wild turn when two mismatched armored truck drivers, Russell (Murphy) and Travis (Davidson), are ambushed by ruthless criminals led by a savvy mastermind, Zoe (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.

Written by Kevin Burrows & Matt Mider, the film also stars Eva Longoria, Marshawn Lynch, Joe “Roman Reigns” Anoa’i, Andrew Dice Clay, and Ismael Cruz Córdova. Producers on the project included John Davis, John Fox, Murphy, Story, and Charisse Hewitt-Webster.
