Sisu

At the end of World War II, a lone gold prospector (Jorma Tommila) finds a rich vein of gold in the wilderness of Lapland in northern Finland. When he travels to the nearest town with the find, he encounters a squad of Nazi soldiers led by a brutal SS officer (Aksel Hennie) who wants to confiscate the gold for his squad. However, the soldiers quickly discover that they have encountered not just an ordinary gold prospector, but a former elite assassin who embodies everything that Sisu stands for—a mythical 〝one-man〞 army embodying a form of courage and unimaginable determination to face down all those who stand in his way of obtaining gold.
