What kind of watch this is
The Man with the Bag is a 2026 fantasy comedy that swaps the North Pole for a heist movie set. Adam Shankman directs Arnold Schwarzenegger as Santa, who recruits Alan Ritchson’s Vance, a thief, to steal back a stolen magic bag. The plan involves Vance’s daughter, Santa, and a group of misfits attempting the greatest heist of his life. It is a film where the stakes are Christmas, but the method is pure caper.
