Netflix's new action thriller 'Carry-On,' directed by Jaume Collet-Serra, draws comparisons to 'Die Hard' due to its setting and plot involving a terrorist threat at LAX airport on Christmas Eve. The film stars Taron Egerton as TSA agent Ethan Kopek, who is blackmailed by a mysterious traveler, played by Jason Bateman, to let a dangerous package onto a flight, with the threat against his pregnant girlfriend's life if he fails. Critics have praised the film's high-paced action and performances, notably Egerton's, leading to an 86% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
