In Netflix’s upcoming thriller Carry-On, Taron Egerton and Jason Bateman take holiday travel to a new level of tension and danger. Directed by Jaume Collet-Serra, the action-packed film is set for release on December 13, promising a suspenseful ride for viewers.
The film’s plot centers on a young and inexperienced TSA agent, played by Egerton, who becomes entangled in a deadly game with a mysterious traveler, portrayed by Bateman. The story unfolds on Christmas Eve when Bateman’s character blackmails Egerton’s TSA agent into allowing a dangerous package onto a flight, threatening the lives of everyone in the airport.
“You have 10 minutes before everybody in this airport dies,” Bateman says ominously in the film’s trailer. “All you have to do is nothing.”
Carry-On boasts a strong supporting cast, including Sofia Carson, Danielle Deadwyler, Sinqua Walls, Logan Marshall-Green, Theo Rossi, Josh Brener, and Dean Norris. The high-stakes thriller was directed by Collet-Serra, known for Black Adam and Jungle Cruise, with a script penned by T.J. Fixman. Dylan Clark serves as the film’s producer, while Collet-Serra, Holly Bario, Brian Williams, Seth William Meier, and Scott Greenberg are among the executive producers.
Egerton, who has gained fame for his roles in the Kingsman series and his portrayal of Elton John in Rocketman, brings depth to the film. In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Egerton shed light on his character’s personal struggles. He described his TSA agent as “unhappy at work” and facing the pressure of becoming a father, as he has just learned his girlfriend is pregnant. “He feels a deep lack of fulfillment,” Egerton explained, setting the stage for his character’s pivotal rise to the challenge when thrust into a life-or-death situation.
Bateman, known for his work in Fool’s Paradise and Air, adds to the thriller’s tension with his menacing portrayal of a calculating adversary.
With its intense storyline, gripping performances, and a talented ensemble cast, Carry-On promises to be a thrilling addition to Netflix’s holiday lineup.
