"Red One" is a holiday-themed action-comedy film that reimagines Santa Claus’ holiday operation as a grandiose adventure in a world of fantastical creatures. Opening in a steampunk Victorianesque North Pole where Christmas magic and modern challenges collide, the story follows a disgruntled Santa Bodyguard who teams up with a cynical illegal tracker that thinks Christmas is CRAP. Their mission is to rescue Santa from a mysterious threat seeking to lock up all naughty people for the betterment of the world (can they start with the White House?)
The film stars a blend of seasoned actors and rising stars, bringing charm and depth to their characters. The elf’s irritable, tough-guy persona is paired with the information dealer’s pragmatic and clever outlook to create a dynamic duo that drives the humor and heart of the narrative.

With its unique take on traditional holiday narratives, "Red One" aims to become a new favorite for families seeking entertainment during the festive season.
