In Red One, Santa Claus (J.K. Simmons) is kidnapped just days before Christmas by Gryla (Kiernan Shipka), a villainous figure from Icelandic folklore who seeks to siphon Santa’s powers to punish those on the Naughty List. To rescue him, Callum Drift (Dwayne Johnson), the head of North Pole security, teams up with Jack O’Malley (Chris Evans), a notorious hacker who inadvertently compromised the North Pole’s location.

Their globe-trotting mission leads them to confront mythological adversaries, including Krampus (Kristofer Hivju), Santa’s estranged adoptive brother. As they navigate a world blending high-tech operations with ancient legends, the duo must overcome personal differences to save Christmas.

Directed by Jake Kasdan, Red One combines action, comedy, and fantasy elements, offering a fresh take on holiday-themed storytelling.
