Working in total secrecy, the US government has been training a single Champion of Earth – a warrior of incredible skill to don a suit of unimaginable power designed by new alien allies in preparation for Earth’s battle for survival against an evil race of aliens. Unfortunately, the suit never made it all the way to its intended destination. Instead of a lone savior, four hapless idiots find the suit and are thrust into the role of heroes as the titular Lazer Team.
Lazer Team, which recently premiere at the 2015 Fantastic Festival in Austin, Texas, is set to hit theaters this January and Indiegogo backers will receive their physical and digital versions of the film. Rooster Teeth also announced that the film will be available to view through YouTube’s membership service, YouTube Red.
Matt Hullum, the CEO of Rooster Teeth, declared:
“Rooster Teeth is thrilled to partner with Youtube to bring Lazer Team to this exciting new platform. We want to make sure that Lazer Team reaches the broadest audience possible, and that our fans worldwide have easy access to watch it anytime, anywhere.

YouTube Red is set to launch on October 28th and offers up membership services, includes ad-free videos, for the same price as Netflix.
