Apple Original Films has just dropped the official trailer for its latest action-comedy, The Family Plan, starring Mark Wahlberg and Michelle Monaghan, set to premiere on Apple TV+ on December 15, 2023. The film promises a blend of high-octane action and family-driven humor, with a plot that turns a routine suburban life into an unexpected thrill ride.
A Suburban Life with a Twist
Mark Wahlberg plays Dan Morgan, a man who cherishes his suburban tranquility as a loving husband and father, and a successful car salesman. But beneath this veneer of normalcy lies a past life as an elite government assassin. When figures from his shadowy past resurface, Dan’s present and former lives collide, sending him and his family on a wild, impromptu road trip from their safe suburban home to the neon lights of Las Vegas.

In what director Simon Cellan Jones describes as a “crazy rush of joyful energy,” The Family Plan takes the Morgan family out of their comfort zone and into a world of danger and adventure. The film aims to resonate with audiences by finding humor and relatability in the family’s extraordinary circumstances. As Jones puts it, “It’s about having fun,” and the trailer certainly suggests that Wahlberg’s character’s average dad facade will lead to some hilariously high-stakes situations.

Synopsis
Dan Morgan (Mark Wahlberg) loves his quiet suburban life as a devoted husband, father of three and successful car salesman. But that’s only half the story. Decades earlier, he was an elite government assassin tasked with eliminating the world’s deadliest threats. When enemies from his past track him down, Dan packs his unsuspecting wife (Michelle Monaghan), angsty teen daughter, pro-gamer teen son and adorable 10-month-old baby into their minivan and takes off on an impromptu cross-country road trip to Las Vegas. Determined to protect his family — while treating them to the vacation of a lifetime — Dan must put his long-dormant skills into action, without revealing his true identity.
Will Dan Morgan’s past jeopardize his family’s future, or will it bring them closer together? How will this suburban family adapt to life on the run? And what surprises await them in the city of sin? Share your thoughts, expectations, and whether you’d want to be part of The Family Plan of Morgans on social media.
