It's been 30 years since Arnold Schwarzenegger went to war over a Turbo-Man action figure in Jingle All the Way, and apparently his next Christmas mission isn't going to be any less stressful. This time, however, Arnie isn't desperately searching for Santa Claus — he is Santa Claus, and he's recruiting Alan Ritchson to rob someone.
Prime Video has unveiled the first teaser trailer and poster for The Man with the Bag, the upcoming Christmas action-comedy starring Schwarzenegger and Ritchson. The movie will premiere globally on Prime Video on December 2, bringing together the Terminator and Reacher stars for what the streamer is billing as the biggest holiday heist of the year. Prime Video's official synopsis reads:
When Santa’s iconic red bag is stolen by a rogue elf with a grudge, Christmas is suddenly at risk. With his biggest night of the year fast-approaching, Santa recruits a thief from his ‘Naughty List’ who quickly assembles a crew of criminally skilled misfits — with a little help from elves and reindeer — to pull off the most unexpected heist of their lives. Packed with holiday magic, big laughs, and plenty of heart, The Man with the Bag is a holiday heist adventure about second chances, unlikely friendships, and discovering that sometimes even Santa needs a little help delivering Christmas.
