Directed by Michael Kvamme, Operation Taco Gary’s is a high-octane sci-fi action comedy. Starring the endlessly charismatic Simon Rex as Danny, a paranoid conspiracy theorist living off the grid, the story kicks off when Danny hijacks his estranged brother Luke’s (Dustin Milligan) mundane move to Ottawa. What begins as a tense, awkward road trip quickly spirals into a surreal mission to "save the world" from a looming global cataclysm. Danny is convinced that the fast-food chain Taco Gary’s is the epicenter of a massive extraterrestrial cover-up, and as the brothers dodge shadow organizations and bizarre threats, his seemingly delusions of Bigfoot suits and homing beacons start to look terrifyingly real.
The film distinguishes itself with a frantic, "Funny or Die" comedic energy, blending sharp sibling rivalry with over-the-top genre tropes. The ensemble cast adds to the absurdity, featuring Brenda Song, Arturo Castro, and Tony Cavalero, alongside a scene-stealing meta-performance by Jason Biggs and creature-work from the legendary Doug Jones. Produced by Revolver Picture Company, the movie is being praised for its creative practical effects and its ability to balance genuine sci-fi stakes with a satirical "eat the rich" and "don't trust the government" subtext. By the time the brothers reach the neon-lit sanctuary of a Taco Gary’s franchise, the film has transformed from a quirky indie comedy into a full-scale alien invasion spectacle, making it one of the most unpredictable and riotous releases of the early 2026 season.
