Storyline
When Air Force One is shot down by terrorists leaving the President of the United States stranded in the wilderness, there is only one person around who can save him - a 13-year old boy called Oskari. In the forest on a hunting mission to prove his maturity to his kinsfolk, Oskari had been planning to track down a deer, but instead discovers the most powerful man on the planet in an escape pod. With the terrorists closing in to capture their own "Big Game" prize, the unlikely duo must team up to escape their hunters. As anxious Pentagon officials observe the action via satellite feed, it is up to the President and his new side-kick to prove themselves and survive the most extraordinary 24 hours of their lives.

Samuel L Jackson is the disgruntled President of the United States who
is the target of an attack that leaves him crash landed in the forest
of Finland aided only by Oskari, a Finish boy trying to prove himself
as a hunter and as a man. WHAT MORE CAN YOU WANT?!
This is the best camp action movie I have seen in a long time (and I'm
counting The Expendables). It's so much fun to watch. Onni Tommila as
Oskari is so brilliant and hilarious, and stands up no problem to Sam
Jackson.
Definitely what you're looking for on a Friday night in with a buddy
and a beer.
