In addition to Johnson and Evans, the movie features J.K. Simmons, Lucy Liu, Kiernan Shipka, Bonnie Hunt, Kristofer Hivju, Nick Kroll, Mary Elizabeth Ellis, and Wesley Kimmel. The film had a reported $200 million budget and performed well in its theatrical run, earning $175 million worldwide during its opening weekend before being available for streaming after a 28-day theater window.
The synopsis reads:
“After Santa Claus – Code Name: RED ONE – is kidnapped, the North Pole’s Head of Security (Dwayne Johnson) must team up with the world’s most infamous bounty hunter (Chris Evans) in a globe-trotting, action-packed mission to save Christmas.”
Red One combines action, humor, and holiday magic, making it a must-watch for fans of Johnson, Evans, and festive adventure films. With its record-breaking performance, the movie sets a new standard for Amazon Prime Video’s original content.
