Jingle All the Way

Arnold Schwarzenegger stars as mattress salesman Howard Langston in Jingle All the Way.
A few days before Christmas, Howard's wife Liz asks him whether he has purchased the action figure doll named Turboman that their son has been talking about nonstop for his Christmas present. He tells her that he has done so, but in actuality it entirely slipped his mind. A mad dash then ensues between Howard and a mailman named Myron (Sinbad), who is in a similar situation, to acquire one of the few available dolls left in the city.
