The first trailer for Carry-On, the upcoming high-stakes thriller starring Taron Egerton, has officially landed, offering viewers a chilling glimpse into a tense holiday scenario at the airport. Directed by Jaume Collet-Serra, known for his work on Non-Stop, and written by T.J. Fixman (Ratchet & Clank) and Michael Green (Logan, Blade Runner 2049), Carry-On promises an adrenaline-fueled ride just in time for the holiday season.
A Christmas Eve Nightmare
The newly released teaser trailer offers a glimpse of the intense action and suspense viewers can expect. Tension builds from the very first frame as Egerton’s Ethan grapples with the weight of his dilemma while Bateman’s sinister voice looms over the escalating chaos. From gripping airport confrontations to explosive car crashes, Carry-On promises a rollercoaster ride of twists and turns that will leave audiences breathless.
Egerton, fresh off his roles in Rocketman and Kingsman, stars as Ethan Kopek, a young TSA agent whose Christmas Eve takes a dark turn when a mysterious traveler, played by Jason Bateman (Ozark), blackmails him into letting a dangerous package slip onto a flight. In the heart-pounding trailer, Bateman’s sinister character offers Egerton’s Ethan an impossible ultimatum: “One bag for one life.” What follows is a gripping race against time as Kopek must navigate an increasingly dangerous airport environment, trying to protect innocent lives while unraveling a deadly conspiracy.
A Spielberg-Amblin Collaboration
Carry-On marks the first collaboration between Netflix and Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Partners, a partnership announced in 2021. Spielberg’s signature touch combined with Collet-Serra’s knack for high-octane thrillers creates a perfect storm of suspense and action, positioning Carry-On as one of the must-watch films of the holiday season.
