About ‘Red One’

This isn’t your typical Christmas movie. Forget the sappy love stories or kids left home alone. Dwayne Johnson stars as Callum Drift, the North Pole’s head of security, alongside J.K. Simmons as Nick—better known as Santa. As Drift considers retiring after centuries on the job, Nick attempts to change his mind. But when Nick mysteriously disappears, Drift knows he has one last mission to complete. Filled with plenty of action, laughs, and even a bit of a love story, “Red One” is destined to be added to your Christmas streaming catalog for years to come.
