Lionsgate has released a poster and red band trailer for Sisu, the WWII action thriller from writer-director Jalmari Helander (Rare Exports).
The film centres on Aatami (Jorma Tommila), an ex-commando and prospector who goes up against the Nazis in the northern Finland wilderness, stopping at nothing to take back the gold they have stolen from him. Watch the trailer below…
During the last desperate days of WWII, a solitary prospector (Jorma Tommila) crosses paths with Nazis on a scorched-earth retreat in northern Finland. When the Nazis steal his gold, they quickly discover that they have just tangled with no ordinary miner. While there is no direct translation for the Finnish word “sisu”, this legendary ex-commando will embody what sisu means: a white-knuckled form of courage and unimaginable determination in the face of overwhelming odds. And no matter what the Nazis throw at him, the one-man death squad will go to outrageous lengths to get his gold back – even if it means killing every last Nazi in his path.
Alongside Jorma Tommila, the cast of Sisu includes Aksel Hennie, Jack Doolan, Mimosa Willamo, and Onni Tommila.
Sisu arrives in cinemas on April 28th.
