Action superstars Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans lead a star-studded cast on an unforgettable action-packed adventure into this mythological world, liberally seasoned with holiday laughs.
The electrifying action comedy Red One takes audiences on a whirlwind trip into a hidden world of mythology and magic. After Santa Claus – Code Name: RED ONE – is kidnapped, the North Pole’s Head of Security (Dwayne Johnson) must team up with the world’s most infamous bounty hunter (Chris Evans) in a globe-trotting, action-packed mission to save Christmas.
For the first time in history, the unthinkable has happened: Santa’s (J.K. Simmons) legendary North Pole outpost has been breached and the man himself has been kidnapped. Callum Drift (Johnson), Commander of the E.L.F. and head of security for “Red One” (Santa’s code name), springs into action along with Jack O’Malley (Evans), the world’s best tracker and the man responsible for unwittingly revealing Santa’s secret location. As the mismatched duo crisscrosses the globe to bring Santa home in time for his legendary annual run, they will have to confront the most treacherous of Yuletide dangers, from Christmas villains Krampus (Kristofer Hivju) and Grýla (Kiernan Shipka) to a trio of sinister snowmen.
Directed by Jake Kasdan (Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle) and written by producer Chris Morgan (Fast & Furious franchise) from an original story by producer Hiram Garcia (Black Adam), Red One reinvents the Christmas story with an epic, cross-cultural thrill ride through a magical world.
