What happens

Big Game is a 2014 action-adventure film directed by Jalmari Helander and written by Helander and Petri Jokiranta. It stars Samuel L. Jackson, Onni Tommila, Ray Stevenson, Victor Garber, Mehmet Kurtulus, Ted Levine, Felicity Huffman, and Jim Broadbent. Finnish actors Jorma Tommila and Risto Salmi fill supporting roles. The film follows a 13-year-old boy named Oskari (Tommila) in his efforts to protect the President of the United States William Alan Moore (Jackson) from terrorists who shot down Air Force One. Premiering at the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival, the film was generally well received critically, with IGN calling it "a throwback to '80s and '90s adventure movie with a dash of comic book violence thrown in for good measure."
