Carry-On is being called the new Die Hard, but the Netflix film is more similar to a movie from the 1970s, which it references during its ending. The 2024 action thriller, directed by Jaume Collet-Serra and written by T.J. Fixman, follows Taron Egerton’s Ethan Kopek, a TSA officer who gets blackmailed at LAX on Christmas Eve. After learning his girlfriend, Nora, is pregnant, Ethan aims to get a promotion. His boss gives him a test run by assigning him to manage a baggage-scanning lane, which, unfortunately, results in Ethan getting mixed up in a terrorist plot.
