Synopsis

Every Christmas, Santa Claus (Jim Broadbent) delivers presents to all the children on earth using a very high-tech operation at the North Pole. When the unforeseeable happens and one child is forgotten, it’s up to Santa’s youngest son, Arthur (James McAvoy), to ensure the present is delivered before the youngster wakes.
