Carry-On Nora Traveler Ethan

Carry-On is being called the new Die Hard, but the Netflix film is more similar to a movie from the 1970s, which it references during its ending. The 2024 action thriller, directed by Jaume Collet-Serra and written by T.J. Fixman, follows Taron Egerton's Ethan Kopek, a TSA officer who gets blackmailed at LAX on Christmas Eve. After learning his girlfriend, Nora, is pregnant, Ethan aims to get a promotion.

The success of the villains' plans in Carry-On is dependent on Ethan letting a suspicious carry-on suitcase pass through security without raising any alarms. Later, Egerton's character learns that the bag contains a nerve agent weapon called Novichok. Ethan then does everything in his power to stop the suitcase from getting on a plane, killing everyone inside, while also protecting Nora.

Airport follows Burt Lancaster as Mel Bakersfeld, the manager of a fictional airport in Chicago who is trying to keep operations smooth during a snowstorm and stop a suicide bomber from blowing up a plane mid-flight. The flight's airline is Trans Global, just like the one in the movie Carry-On. Netflix's 2024 action thriller is undoubtedly referencing Airport by name-dropping the airline .
