Plot Synopsis
For years, Wile E. Coyote has relied on ACME products in his relentless pursuit of the speedy Road Runner. Unfortunately, every rocket, catapult, spring-loaded trap, and oversized invention has ended in spectacular disaster.
Fed up with being ACME’s biggest victim, Wile E. hires struggling billboard lawyer Kevin Avery (Will Forte) to file a lawsuit against the powerful Acme Corporation.
What begins as an unlikely legal battle soon grows into a high-profile courtroom showdown that pits an underdog attorney and his unconventional client against one of the world’s biggest corporations. Along the way, Kevin finds unexpected allies while facing relentless opposition from Acme’s charismatic legal representative, turning the trial into a hilarious clash of wits, outrageous evidence, and classic Looney Tunes mayhem.

A Fresh Spin on a Classic Looney Tunes Rivalry
Inspired by Ian Frazier’s famous New Yorker humour article, Coyote vs. Acme imagines the legal consequences of ACME’s notoriously defective inventions. Instead of another chase through the desert, the film transforms Wile E. Coyote into an unlikely plaintiff seeking justice after years of cartoon catastrophes.
Blending live-action performances with beloved animated characters, the movie delivers the slapstick humour fans expect while introducing an original story filled with heart, satire, and courtroom comedy. Longtime Looney Tunes favourites, including Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Elmer Fudd, and Foghorn Leghorn, also make appearances throughout the adventure.
Coyote vs. ACME only in theatres August 28
