Indican Pictures is bringing Lucky Strikes, a new sports comedy about friendship, family legacy and one very important bowling alley, to VOD and digital platforms on September 22, 2026.
Directed by Darcy Waite, the film follows a struggling former bowling star who finds himself with one final chance to save the place that means everything to his family.
Plot
Adam (Meegwun Fairbrother) was once a talented bowler, but those glory days are long behind him. Now washed-up and struggling to find his direction, Adam faces an even bigger problem when the local bowling alley founded by his late father is threatened with demolition.
For Adam, the bowling alley isn’t simply a business. It represents his father’s legacy and a connection to his own past.
With the wrecking ball approaching, Adam teams up with his best friend Benny (Victoria Gwendoline) to come up with increasingly outrageous ways to raise enough money to save the beloved local establishment.
Unfortunately, their efforts are complicated by Adam’s arch-nemesis Sarah, who is determined to sabotage their plans.
As one scheme after another fails to deliver the results they need, Adam and Benny realize that they may have one last opportunity to save the bowling alley: competing in the national bowling championship.
