An all-star ensemble cast joins Cate Blanchett in ALPHA GANG, with Dave Bautista, Steven Yeun, Zoë Kravitz, Léa Seydoux, Riley Keough, and Channing Tatum teaming up in the Zellner Brothers’ highly anticipated alien invasion comedy.

Alpha Gang centers on a group of alien invaders sent to conquer Earth. Disguised in human form as a 1950s leather-clad biker gang, they are ruthless in their mission… until they succumb to the most toxic and contagious human condition of all: emotions.
