Game Night 🎥 2018 Movie Info

Plot Summary

Max and Annie Davis are avid gamers who met at bar trivia and became engaged during charades. The couple’s plans for a baby are complicated by Max’s feelings of inadequacy compared to his successful brother, Brooks. The couple regularly hosts game nights with their friend Ryan and married couple Kevin and Michelle Sterling, while struggling to keep them secret from their socially awkward police officer neighbor Gary Kingsbury, especially after his painful divorce from their friend Debbie. Brooks arrives in Max’s dream car, humiliates him with a childhood story, and offends Annie by offering to host the next game night himself.

When the guests, including Ryan’s new date Sarah, arrive at Brooks’s rental house, Brooks reveals he has initiated an interactive role-playing mystery game. The winner is promised his Corvette. An actor enters to begin the game, but is knocked unconscious by two masked men who kidnap Brooks. Believing this is part of the game, the couples passively observe the fight and split up to solve the mystery. Ryan and Sarah visit the role-playing company’s office to offer a bribe for the final clue. When Kevin and Michelle talk to the actor, they realize Brooks’s abduction was real. Max and Annie track Brooks’s phone to a bar and use a pistol Brooks dropped to hold his captors at gunpoint and free him.

When Annie accidentally shoots Max in the arm, they realize they are in danger. They flee as Brooks confesses that he is a black marketeer: he procured a Fabergé egg for a criminal known as “the Bulgarian” but instead sold it to someone with the alias “Marlon Freeman”. With his kidnappers in pursuit, Brooks jumps out of the car so Max and Annie can escape. The couples regroup and, unable to go to the police, decide to recover the egg from Freeman to deliver to the Bulgarian.
