Red One (2024) is an action-packed holiday-themed adventure that reimagines Christmas through a unique lens.
The film follows two elite operatives, played by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Chris Evans, who team up for a top-secret mission during the most magical time of the year. The trailer reveals that their task involves protecting Santa Claus (J.K. Simmons) from a mysterious, otherworldly threat that could jeopardize Christmas and the entire world.
The film blends elements of fantasy, action, and comedy, offering a fresh take on the Christmas movie genre. Johnsonβs character is a fearless, larger-than-life hero who doesnβt believe in limits, while Evans brings his sharp wit and charm as a strategic and precise operative. Together, they form an unlikely duo, navigating intense battles and incredible stunts, all with a holiday backdrop.
Lucy Liu plays a key supporting role as a high-ranking official with knowledge of the threat, while Simmons’ Santa is far from the traditional jolly figureβhe’s ready to take on any danger with his own set of skills. The film promises to deliver high-octane action with plenty of heartwarming moments and comedic banter between the leads.
The teaser hints at a spectacular showdown with a villainous figure who threatens to unravel the magic of Christmas itself, making Red One a thrilling and unconventional addition to holiday cinema.
