The movie’s plot follows Santa Claus—code-named “Red One”—who is kidnapped, prompting the North Pole’s Head of Security (played by Johnson) to join forces with the world’s most infamous bounty hunter (Evans) in a globe-trotting mission to save Christmas.
Directed by Jake Kasdan, Red One features an impressive ensemble cast including J.K. Simmons as Santa Claus, Bonnie Hunt as Mrs. Claus, Kristofer Hivju as Krampus, Kiernan Shipka as Gryla the Christmas Witch, and Lucy Liu as Zoe, the head of a secret government agency tasked with protecting mythical creatures.
An Amazon MGM Studios production, Red One has already garnered $85.7 million at the domestic box office and $78.2 million internationally, totaling $163.9 million worldwide against a $200 million production budget (excluding marketing costs).
Fans and critics alike are enjoying the festive fun. The Rotten Tomatoes audience summary praises the ensemble cast, stating, “Led by The Rock, the entire ensemble delivers ample servings of naughty and nice that may leave you humming, ‘Oh what fun it is to ride in a Red One open sleigh.’”
