What To Watch In Theaters: Red One

Mega

The mission to save Christmas is on! When Santa Claus (J.K. Simmons) is kidnapped from the North Pole, E.L.F. (Extremely Large and Formidable) operative Callum Drift (Johnson) joins forces with the world’s most accomplished tracker, Jack O’Malley (Evans), to find him.

The reluctant partners also have help from a talking polar bear named Agent Garcia (voiced by Reinaldo Faberlle) as their no-nonsense boss Zoe (Lucy Liu) issues the orders. Johnson and Evans are a bickering buddy comedy dream team as they do battle with villains like Krampus (Game of Thrones’ Kristofer Hivju), child-stealing Christmas witch Gryla (Kiernan Shipka) and fight off sinister snowmen who throw snowflakes like ninja stars.

Can this dynamic duo rescue Santa (code name: Red One) — without killing each other first? Jumanji director Jake Kasdan and Fast franchise scribe Chris Morgan deliver a present for both action addicts and Christmas movie fanatics alike. Red One is both naughty and nice!
