From Bruce Willis in Die Hard<\/a> to David Harbour in Violent Night and even Home Alone<\/a>, there\u2019s nothing quite like a thrilling Christmas film.<\/p>\n

This year will see a new addition to the genre in the shape of Sky Max<\/a>\u2018s The Heist Before Christmas.<\/p>\n

And, judging by the first trailer, it looks like it\u2019s earned its place.<\/p>\n

Mr Turner\u2019s Timothy Spall and Cold Feet\u2019s James Nesbitt star as opposing Santas who wind up in 12-year-old Mikey\u2019s (Bamber Todd) path.<\/p>\n

Nesbitt\u2019s has just robbed a bank and is running off with the cash, while Spall\u2019s claims to have fallen out of his sleigh.<\/p>\n

Unlike his little brother Sean (Joshua McLees), Mikey has long stopped believing in the magic of Christmas, but he certainly believes in the magic the thief\u2019s loot could bring to his family. Take a peek at his scheming below.<\/p>\n
