The Watch

Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, Jonah Hill and Richard Ayoade star in a comedy about everyday guys who become Earth's unlikeliest front line against an alien invasion. There's trouble brewing in peaceful suburban Ohio. That's why four civic-minded citizens, armed with flashlights, walkie-talkies and spiffy new jackets, have teamed up to safeguard their community. But the guys find more than they bargained for when they uncover an alien plot to destroy Earth, and now these bumbling heroes are the only hope to save the neighborhood — and the world — from annihilation.
