In a near-future California where economic struggles persist, a groundbreaking Grand Lottery has been established. The catch? To legitimately claim the award, you must murder the winner before sunset. This high-stakes premise sets the stage for the action-packed comedy “Wake Up Dead Man,” directed by Paul Feig and featuring an ensemble cast that includes John Cena, Awkwafina, and Simu Liu.
Katie (Awkwafina), a recent transplant to LA, accidentally finds herself in possession of the winning lottery ticket. With billions of dollars at stake, she must navigate a treacherous path to claim her prize. But there’s a twist: amateur jackpot protector Noel (John Cena) insists on keeping her alive until sundown. Meanwhile, rival protector Louis Lewis (Simu Liu) also wants to ensure Katie survives—albeit for his rich protection commission.
A Web of Intrigue
As the sun sets, the race against time intensifies. Katie, Noel, and Louis find themselves entangled in a web of deception, secrets, and unexpected alliances. The fate of the multi-billion-dollar jackpot hangs in the balance, and the clock is ticking.
Stay Tuned
“Wake Up Dead Man” promises heart-pounding action, witty banter, and a rollercoaster ride of laughs. As the release date approaches, fans eagerly await the next chapter in this thrilling comedy saga.
