The World’s End

Pike plays the character Sam in the sci-fi comedy directed by Edgar Wright. Sam joins a group of friends attempting a pub crawl that they failed to complete in high school. As they drink their way through the town of Newton Haven, they uncover a plot to replace the human race with androids. Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Paddy Considine, Martin Freeman, and Eddie Marsan co-star.
