Santa's Security Chief Meets a Grinchy Tracker in 'Red One'

Get ready for a wild Christmas ride with 'Red One', a new action comedy from Amazon MGM Studios. In this twisting tale, Santa (J. K. Simmons) gets snatched just before Christmas Eve, and it's up to North Pole security chief Callum Drift (Dwayne Johnson) to save the day. He teams up with a grumpy tracker, Jack O'Malley (Chris Evans), and together they face off against mythical holiday creatures like Krampus (Kristofer Hivju) and the witch Grýla (Kiernan Shipka).This star-studded adventure blends family fun with plenty of action scenes. Even though Santa's mostly asleep, he gets his moment of glory with some rooftop stunts. The story goes beyond the usual holiday cheer, teaching that it's never too late to be nice. Evans' character, Jack, learns this lesson as he reconnects with his son, and Johnson's Callum regains his faith in his job. 'Red One' leans into the cheesiness, making it a great choice for families who've binged the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It's filled with jokes and absurdity, turning the usual Christmas movie into something fresh and exciting. With a possible franchise in the making, this film is a fun new take on holiday lore.
