‘Red One’ Starring Dwayne Johnson Available Now: How to Watch for Free on Prime Video

Subscribers can now enjoy this festive flick at no additional cost on the platform.

The film revolves around a thrilling premise: Santa Claus is abducted just before Christmas, threatening the celebration of the holiday. Dwayne Johnson stars as Callum Drift, Santa’s head of security, who embarks on a mission to rescue the big man. Teaming up with Jack O'Malley, a skilled hacker and skeptic played by Chris Evans, Drift must race against time to save Christmas.

The movie boasts a star-studded cast, including J.K. Simmons as a muscular Santa Claus and Kiernan Shipka as the Icelandic winter witch, Grýla. Directed by Jake Kasdan, known for his work on the Jumanji series, and penned by Chris Morgan of Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw, Red One blends holiday charm with fast-paced action.

Prime Video subscribers can stream Red One at no extra cost. For those who don’t have a subscription, Amazon offers a 30-day free trial, allowing new and eligible returning users to access the film along with other Prime benefits, such as free shipping and Amazon Music. After the trial, membership costs £8.99 per month, but users can cancel anytime before the trial ends to avoid charges.

While Red One incorporates classic festive elements, it has received mixed reviews. Critics have noted its light-hearted approach, making it suitable as a casual holiday watch. Digital Spy’s review described it as ideal for unwinding post-Christmas dinner, even if it isn’t groundbreaking in its execution.
