The story follows a young man (played by Luke Grimes) coming to a dusty small town to meet the father he never met (played by Tim Allen). After the success of Melfi's Hidden Figures, nominated for Best Picture, the director had free reign to take on whatever project he wanted, and what he wanted to do was finally finish a project he'd started 10 years ago, after he bought a script from then-first time writer Wehner, and fill it with an all-star ensemble cast. Not quite, but the fictional town is a perfect backdrop for the movie's drama to play out. The characters and setting are integral to the anti-holiday feel of the film, but is El Camino a real place? Throw in a hostage situation and a holiday reunion, and you have an R-rated Christmas story for, well, some of the family. El Camino Christmas is a darkly comic look at what happens when miscommunications pile up in a small town where everyone's eager for the slightest distraction.

Taking place in and named after the dry, sunbaked town of El Camino, Nevada, the latest movie from director Ted Melfi and co-writer Chris Wehner doesn't seem like much of a Christmas film, even though it's right there in the title.
