Carry-On is on its way to Netflix and the film has already been described by eager viewers as the next 'Die Hard'. Back in 2021, the legendary Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Partners made a deal with the streaming platform to produce multiple films.

Carry-On was planned to be the first film to come from the deal, which written by T.J. Fixman. According to Fastlane, the feature film had an estimated expenditure of $47million.

The film follows Ethan Kopek, a young TSA agent who gets blackmailed by a passenger to let a dangerous package slip through security and onto a Christmas Day flight. Carry-On director Jaume Collet-Serra specializes in this kind of thriller.

He previously told Tudum: “Contained environments force us to get to know the movie’s characters very quickly and personally — we’re immediately in the thick of the story with them, which creates a genuine investment in what’s happening on-screen.

“It’s also a very exciting visual challenge as a filmmaker to come up with creative ways to shoot every inch of a small space and try to make it look different and find new details of the world in each scene.”

Collet-Serra said he hoped Carry-On can be enjoyed all year round, but added: "Of course, the holiday travel theme is integral to our story, and we definitely had fun with it in terms of Christmas decorations in the airport and some classic holiday tunes in the soundtrack.”
