Carry-On, an action thriller directed by Jaume Collet-Serra(Jungle Cruise, Sans Identité), stars Taron Egerton as a young security guard caught up in a dangerous blackmail scheme. The film, written by Michael Green(Logan, Blade Runner 2049), promises breathless suspense, driven by the mounting tension of a plot set in an airport on Christmas Eve. Alongside Egerton are Jason Bateman and Sofia Carson, in a cast as intense as the plot itself.
Carry-On will be available on Netflix from December 13, 2024.
Synopsis: A young security guard tries to foil the plans of a mysterious traveler who is blackmailing him into letting a dangerous package aboard a plane on Christmas Eve.
In Carry-On, Christmas Eve turns into a nightmare for Ethan Kopek, a young airline security guard (played by Taron Egerton), when he is targeted by a mysterious traveler, played by Jason Bateman. The traveler gives Ethan an ultimatum: let a dangerous package pass on board an airplane, or face devastating consequences. Ethan finds himself faced with an impossible decision, while trying to foil the passenger's plans without endangering the lives of the passengers and his own crew. Between a race against time, a moral dilemma and explosive action, Carry-On explores tension at its height in a stifling closed-door setting.
Carry-On will appeal to fans of high-voltagethrillers, intense action stories and films like Non-Stop or Speed. The film promises psychological suspense, combining breakneck pace with a complex moral dilemma. What sets Carry-On apart is the originality of its setting: an airport, a place already fraught with stress during the holiday season, combined with an imminent threat of catastrophe. Taron Egerton's performance, opposite an intriguing antagonist played by Jason Bateman, adds depth to this race against time. If you've enjoyed films like Without Identity (also directed by Jaume Collet-Serra) or Flight Plan, Carry-On could well be your must-see end-of-year thriller.
With Carry-On, Netflix promises a breathless thriller, perfectly calibrated to keep viewers on the edge of their seats. The duo of Taron Egerton and Jason Bateman, under the direction of Jaume Collet-Serra, guarantee mounting tension right up to the explosive denouement. Available from December 13, 2024, Carry-On should establish itself as one of the most eagerly awaited action films of the season, not to be missed by fans of intense suspense and moral dilemmas in a setting as unique as an airport on Christmas Eve.
