RED ONE is set to shake up the holiday movie lineup with its theatrical release this Friday, November 15. This unique adventure follows Callum Drift, the North Pole’s no-nonsense Head of Security, and Jack O’Malley, a world-class bounty hunter, as they team up on an epic mission. When Santa Claus—codenamed “Red One”—is captured by a dangerous supervillain, Drift and O’Malley must race against time on a globe-trotting rescue mission to save Christmas itself. Along the way, the duo faces off against a wild lineup of holiday villains, including the fearsome Krampus and the Christmas Witch, Grýla, alongside her menacing snowmen henchmen.
With a playful approach to holiday mythology, RED ONE brings a fresh vision of the North Pole and its characters. This isn’t your traditional cozy Santa’s village—instead, audiences will experience a sprawling, crystalline city filled with magical tech and bustling with holiday spirit. The film redefines classic holiday elements, blending a vibrant mix of fantasy, adventure, and high-stakes action. The filmmakers took great care to create an immersive holiday world, filled with high-tech sleighs and complex gadgets that Drift and O’Malley use in their daring rescue mission.
What really sets RED ONE apart is its adventurous blend of heart and humor, with each character bringing their unique style and quirks to the story. Callum Drift’s tough, no-nonsense approach to protecting the North Pole contrasts sharply with Jack O’Malley’s bounty-hunter swagger, creating a buddy dynamic that keeps the energy high. As they race to save Christmas, their clashing personalities bring comedic moments that appeal to all ages, adding layers to the action-packed plot.
And let’s not forget the cast. Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans lead the ensemble, bringing their iconic energy to these holiday roles. Lucy Liu, Kiernan Shipka, Bonnie Hunt, and Nick Kroll add depth to this star-studded lineup, each actor bringing a unique twist to their character’s role in this holiday adventure. J.K. Simmons as Santa himself rounds out the cast, offering a fresh and unexpected take on the jolly figure we all know and love.
RED ONE is rated PG-13 for action, some violence, and language, making it suitable for families with older children. If you’re looking for a holiday film with a twist, RED ONE brings action, laughs, and a fresh take on Christmas mythology to theaters nationwide starting November 15. It’s a holiday adventure the whole family can enjoy together this season.
