Arnold Schwarzenegger and Alan Ritchson Team Up to Save Christmas in Prime Video's Holiday Action-Comedy
The official trailer for The Man with the Bag brings Arnold Schwarzenegger back to holiday action as Santa Claus faces an unexpected Christmas crisis. When a disgruntled elf steals Santa's magical bag, threatening his annual gift-giving mission, he turns to Vance (Alan Ritchson), a professional thief on his Naughty List, for help. Together, the unlikely partners embark on a dangerous and comedic mission to recover the bag before Christmas is ruined.
Directed by Adam Shankman, The Man with the Bag also stars Awkwafina and blends holiday magic with action, humor, and an unconventional take on the Santa Claus legend. The Amazon MGM Studios production pairs Schwarzenegger's larger-than-life screen presence with Ritchson's action credentials for a Christmas adventure built around an unlikely partnership. The film premieres exclusively on Prime Video on December 2, 2026.
ABOUT THE MAN WITH THE BAG
Christmas is approaching when professional thief Vance receives the strangest job offer of his career. Santa Claus has lost the magical bag that makes his annual journey possible, and the person responsible is a disgruntled elf with plans of her own. With the holiday in jeopardy, Santa turns to someone already familiar with breaking the rules, recruiting Vance from his Naughty List to steal the bag back before Christmas Eve.
Vance brings his daughter along and assembles an unconventional crew whose questionable talents may be exactly what Santa needs. With elves, reindeer, and Christmas magic joining their criminal expertise, the group prepares for an impossible holiday heist where failure could leave the entire world without Christmas. The Man with the Bag pairs Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Santa with Alan Ritchson’s unlikely thief in an action-comedy about redemption, family, and finding a second chance in the last place anyone would expect.
