Heartwarming festive comedy Get Santa, starring Oscar®-winning actor Jim Broadbent, Rafe Spall, Warwick Davies, Jodie Whittaker and Stephen Graham.

Get Santa filmed in Yorkshire at locations including Leeds, Wetherby, Keighley, Bradford and Harewood House, following investment from Screen Yorkshire through its Yorkshire Content Fund.

Days before Christmas, reindeers are found running loose through the streets of London. 9-year-old TOM (played by newcomer Kit Connor) hears rustling outside his house and is astonished to discover Santa (Jim Broadbent) in the garden shed. Escaping the wreckage of his sleigh and desperate to return to Lapland, Santa has come to ask Tom and his dad STEVE (Rafe Spall) for help. But Steve has just been released from prison and all he wants is to stay out of trouble and spend time with his son. Only after Santa is arrested – for trying to liberate his reindeer from Battersea Dogs Home – can Tom persuade Steve to carry out Santa’s madcap plan. Whilst Santa adjusts to life on the inside, Steve and Tom are on the run with the clock ticking, on a desperate quest to save Christmas.
