Planet 51 is a galactic sized alien adventure comedy from the writer of "Shrek" and "Shrek 2", the story revolves around American astronaut Captain Charles "Chuck" Baker who lands on Planet 51 thinking he's the first person to step foot there. To his surprise he finds that this planet is inhabited by little green people who are happily living in a white picket fence world, reminiscent of a cheerfully innocent 1950s America, and whose only fear is that it will be overrun by alien invaders...like Chuck!

With the help of his robot companion "Rover", and his new friend Lem, Chuck must navigate his way through the dazzling, but bewildering, landscape of Planet 51 in order to escape becoming a permanent part of the Planet 51 Alien Invaders Space Museum.

The Planet 51 game will take the form of an entertaining mission-based driving game with various characters from the film available to play. The game allows audiences to immerse themselves into this amazing vibrant world, and truly experience the hours of fun that Planet 51 has to offer!


This partnership demonstrates SEGA’s strategy to strengthen its portfolio of games based on movie licenses. SEGA have previously partnered with Marvel Studios to create games for a number of their popular long running comic series, this includes the recently released, and hugely successful Iron Man film. Pyro Studios have previously worked on the highly acclaimed Commandos line of WWII games. Planet 51 will be Pyro Studios’ first exploration into the movie genre.

Planet 51 is scheduled for theatrical release in the United States on November 20, 2009 by Sony Pictures, and around the world by leading independent distributors.
