The result is a wildly inventive comedy that blends live action, classic Looney Tunes chaos and courtroom drama into one of the year's most original cinema experiences. If you grew up watching Wile E. Coyote chase the Road Runner, this is one showdown you won't want to miss. Ready for opening weekend? Find Coyote vs. Acme on Ster-Kinekor and secure your seats before the rush.

After decades of exploding rockets, collapsing bridges, faulty jetpacks and enough falling anvils to make a grown coyote weep, Wile E. has finally had enough. Instead of buying another Acme gadget, he's hiring a lawyer. That's the brilliantly simple premise behind Coyote vs. Acme. Convinced that the Acme Corporation's famously unreliable products are responsible for years of spectacular failure, Wile E. Coyote launches a lawsuit against the company that has let him down time and time again. Representing the determined coyote is down-on-his-luck attorney Kevin Avery, who unexpectedly finds himself taking on one of the biggest corporate legal battles imaginable. Standing in their way? Acme's formidable legal team, determined to protect one of the world's most recognisable fictional brands at any cost. It's an inspired twist on one of animation's greatest running jokes, blending courtroom comedy, live action and the slapstick chaos that has entertained audiences for generations.

Bringing a beloved cartoon into the real world isn't easy. Fortunately, Coyote vs. Acme has assembled a cast more than capable of matching the energy of its animated co-stars.

Will Forte stars as Kevin Avery, the lawyer who takes on Wile E. Coyote's seemingly impossible case. Known for his gift for awkward humour and heartfelt comedy, Forte brings exactly the right balance of sincerity and absurdity to a story that's anything but ordinary.

Every great courtroom battle needs an intimidating opponent. John Cena steps into that role as Acme's powerhouse legal representative, creating a larger-than-life adversary whose confidence is almost as formidable as the corporation he's defending.

Lana Condor joins the ensemble in a key supporting role, adding another layer to a story packed with humour, heart and plenty of unexpected twists. Then there are the real stars. Wile E. Coyote, the Road Runner and other beloved Looney Tunes characters are seamlessly integrated into the live-action world, preserving the classic animation style that generations of audiences know and love while giving the story a fresh new setting. It's nostalgic without feeling dated, introducing timeless characters to an entirely new audience.
