The Santa Clause is a 1994 American Christmas comedy film written by Leo Benvenuti and Steve Rudnick, and directed by John Pasquin. The first film in the Santa Clause film series, it stars Tim Allen as Scott Calvin, an ordinary man who accidentally causes Santa Claus to fall from his roof on Christmas Eve. When he and his young son, Charlie, finish St. Nick's trip and deliveries, they go to the North Pole where Scott learns that he must become the new Santa and convince those he loves that he is indeed Santa Claus. The film was released on November 11, 1994, and grossed $189 million. While it received mixed reviews at the time, it has since become a Christmas-time staple among viewers. Its success led to two sequels, The Santa Clause 2 and The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause, which were both financially successful but suffered critical decline.
