Red One: A Military-Style Christmas Like You’ve Never Seen Before

Santa’s Operation: Military-Style

Forget everything you thought you knew about Christmas. In Red One, Santa’s operation is a near-military one, where he deploys every effort to bring joy to kids on Christmas morning. Callum Drift, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson’s character, is part of the E.L.F., which stands for Enforcement, Logistics, and Fortification.

The Kidnapping and the Chase

When Santa is kidnapped, Callum Drift and Chris Evans’ tracker Jack O’Malley join forces to get the biggest day of the season back on track. Drift, a true believer in festive fun, is a powerful figure who can take care of himself. J.K. Simmons’ Santa is more than just the iconic character – he’s a force of nature with the ability to do incredible things.

The Christmas Cover-up

This is a Christmas that looks set to deck the halls, right in the face. With its near-military operation and an emphasis on Enforcement, Logistics, and Fortification, Red One brings a unique perspective to the festive season. The movie features J.K. Simmons’ Santa as a powerful, capable character who can do everything imaginable.

Catching the Kidnapper

While Santa’s operation may seem overwhelming, Callum Drift and Jack O’Malley are determined to bring joy back to children. Together, they face whatever obstacles come their way and give the kidnapper a Christmas to remember – but not in a good way.
