The Santa Incident (TV Movie 2010)

The Santa Incident: Directed by Yelena Lanskaya. With Ali Lyons, Scott Graham, James Cosmo, Ione Skye. After his sleigh is shot down while flying through restricted military airspace, an earthbound Santa is sought for questioning by a pair of overzealous Homeland Security agents. The fate of Christmas is now in the hands of the disbelieving by-the-book duo, unless their faith in Santa can be restored by two children and a trio of elves who have arrived from up North to help out a friend in need.

“Okay the acting isnu0026#39;t the best but it is made-for-TV. Hallmark style, Santa gets grounded, kids come to the rescue, baddie homeland defense guys are looking for him, and one big scary guy is tracking him, for we donu0026#39;t know what reason. Hide, chase and finally Santa is away safe, and all ends well. Suitable for all family if you donu0026#39;t mind explaining some of it to the wee ones as to how Santa can get knocked out of the sky, or come up befuddled on the ground. It explains it all, but you might want to add you own spin so your children will understand that Santa ALWAYS comes through no matter what the conditions might be. I enjoyed watching the bumbling Homeland Defense guys, kind of like Maxwell Smart or an Inspector Clouseau….”
