An airport security officer races to outsmart a mysterious traveler forcing him to let a dangerous item slip onto a Christmas Eve flight.

Taron Egerton and an against-type Jason Bateman make for great adversaries in Carry-On, a throwback thriller that clears all checkpoints of plot logic with its confident execution.

'Carry-On' is often likened to 'Die Hard' for its Christmas setting and action-packed plot. The film explores themes of tension, moral dilemmas, and high-stakes scenarios in an airport. Taron Egerton and Jason Bateman receive praise for their performances and chemistry. However, some critics note plot holes, unrealistic elements, and a lack of originality, arguing the film relies on familiar tropes. Despite these issues, many find 'Carry-On' to be an entertaining, fun action thriller.
