Amazon MGM Studios today released the official trailer for The Pickup, an action-comedy starring Eddie Murphy and Pete Davidson, arriving on Prime Video, August 6, 2025.
The trailer opens with armored-truck drivers Russell (Murphy) and Travis (Davidson) on a standard cash pickup—until Zoe (Keke Palmer), mastermind thief, hijacks the job and forces them into a chaotic casino heist.
Eddie Murphy’s seasoned swagger clashes comically with Davidson’s neurotic energy. There’s more than heist-level tension—Russell is racing home for his anniversary with Eva Longoria, while Travis realizes he’d previously hooked up with Zoe, adding awkward personal complications.
