Looks like not all Netflix Christmas movies involve hot snowmen. Instead, Taron Egerton finds himself in a Speed-like Christmas Eve in the trailer for Netflix's Carry On.

Directed by Orphan's Jaume Collet-Serra and written by Ratchet & Clank's T.J. Fixman, Carry On sees the Rocketman star as a TSA agent working Christmas at LAX. Amid the flurry of passengers headed home for the holidays, he's handed a random earpiece left on a tray. On the end of the line is a twisted blackmailer (Jason Bateman) with plans to get a piece of carry-on luggage onto a flight. At any cost.

Sofia Carson, Danielle Deadwyler, Logan Marshall-Green, Dean Norris, and Sinqua Walls all star.

Carry On hits Netflix on Dec. 13.
