There was a time when Christmas specials and movies were a beloved part of holiday traditions. Families would eagerly gather around the TV each year to enjoy the timeless classics that made the season feel extra magical. Today’s new crop of Christmas films, however, often struggle to capture that same charm, with many falling short of becoming holiday favorites. But Red One looks like it could break the trend, bringing together an all-star cast and an action-packed storyline that has the potential to become a new Christmas classic.
In Red One, the stakes are high when Santa Claus—code name “Red One”—is kidnapped. To save Christmas, the North Pole’s Head of Security (played by Dwayne Johnson) must team up with the world’s most notorious bounty hunter (Chris Evans) in a thrilling, globe-trotting adventure. The film blends action, holiday spirit, and plenty of humor as the unlikely duo races against time to rescue Santa and restore Christmas magic.
Adding to the film’s appeal is its stellar cast. Alongside Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans, Red One features Lucy Liu, Kiernan Shipka, Bonnie Hunt, Kristofer Hivju, Nick Kroll, Wesley Kimmel, and J.K. Simmons in the role of Santa Claus.
Set to hit theaters on Friday, November 15, 2024, Red One promises to deliver an exciting and heartwarming holiday experience that could become a must-watch for Christmases to come.
