Lazer Team is a 2015 American science fiction action comedy film directed, produced, and co-written by Matt Hullum.

The first feature film produced by Rooster Teeth, it stars Burnie Burns, Gavin Free, Michael Jones, Colton Dunn, Allie DeBerry, and Alan Ritchson.

The film follows the Lazer Team, a group of four who find themselves responsible for the fate of the planet upon discovering an alien crash site containing a battle suit.

[6] In 1977, the government has secretly decoded a transmission, sent by the alien Antareans, which warns of a deadly race known as the Worg, coming to destroy Earth.

Thirty-eight years later, Officer Anthony Hagan arrests Zach Spencer for causing trouble at a party and begins to drive him away, only to find Woody Johnson and Herman Mendoza shooting off unauthorized fireworks.

Angry that their preparations have been jeopardized and that Zach has posted a selfie with the suit (calling the four "Lazer Team"), Colonel Emory gives Adam orders to train them in only four days, after which time the Worg are scheduled to arrive.

The team goes on their way to Zach and Mindy's high school, where they find that an Antarean ship has arrived and is over the town's football field, creating a giant forcefield around it.

They find the rest of the team there and regroup, hijacking a police car and ramming it into the forcefield to successfully reach the football field.

Woody intercepts a transmission from the ship, revealing that rather than a war they are part of an elimination tournament where the Antareans destroy the losers' planets until one remains.

Lazer Team proves unsuccessful at defeating the Worg by themselves, so Adam begins a distraction using riot gear from the police car.

The four separated suit pieces malfunction and Lazer Team is blown clear of the forcefield, but the Worg and the Antarean ship are consumed.

These cameos include Barbara Dunkelman, Lindsay Jones, Arryn Zech, Kara Eberle, Jon Risinger, Josh Flanagan, Matt Hullum, Gus Sorola, Shannon McCormick, Blaine Gibson, Brandon Farmahini, Joel Heyman, Yomary Cruz, Kerry Shawcross, Adam Ellis, Trevor Collins and Miles Luna.

Country musician Dale Watson, film critic and Space Jam animator Korey Coleman, astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, YouTuber Justine Ezarik, improvisational comedian Tom Booker, and Barenaked Ladies lead singer Ed Robertson also have cameos in the film.

"[13] In February 2014, Burns confirmed the company was going to launch a crowdfunding campaign for the film as a way to offer more support options while gaining publicity.

[citation needed] To avoid interrupting Achievement Hunter's online video schedule, Free and Jones pre-recorded content for a month prior to filming.

[37] It set a Tugg record in Australia when it sold 800 tickets to a single theatre at Event Cinemas' George Street, in Sydney.

[43] Scott Weinberg, writing for Nerdist, praised the film's amiable, '80s tone and "surprisingly nifty" effects, calling it "a good deal of quaint, geeky fun.

"[46] New York Times Neil Genzlinger criticized the film saying "Lazer Team ends by setting itself up for a sequel, but that's mighty wishful thinking" and "What they—or the men playing them—really need to learn to do is act.

"[47] Matt Fagerholm of RogerEbert.com heavily criticized the film, writing "This movie is, in essence, a product of fame and money without the slightest tangible shred of effort.".

[48] On August 5, 2016, Burns and Free announced that a sequel to Lazer Team was green-lit by Rooster Teeth in partnership with YouTube Red, and that pre-production had begun.
