It's all about an ex-World War I commando who retires as gold miner, who suddenly strikes a mother lode of gold, right in the middle of the Nazi invading Finland. Before you know it,
the main protagonist, commando-turned-gold miner, Sisu has the Nazi chasing him to steal his gold. Then, it's Sisu exacting revenge on the Nazi, in superhuman strength, toughness, and cunningness that scares the Nazi straight.
If Quentin Tarantino directed a movie based in Finnish World War II, it'll be "SISU."
The central protagonist, Sisu, is a living definition of Finnish tenacity, a white-knuckled form of courage and unimaginable determination in the face of overwhelming odds.
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.
