DALLAS – Service members, military families and retirees can catch a free screening of Lionsgate’s “SISU” at select Exchange Reel Time Theaters on April 22, in advance of the film’s nationwide theatrical release April 28.
“The Exchange is honored to work with Lionsgate to bring another free advance movie screening to military communities,” said Air Force Chief Master Sgt. Kevin Osby, the Exchange’s senior enlisted advisor. “This Exchange benefit is another way that we show our appreciation to our service members and their families for their service and sacrifice.”
“SISU” follows Aatami Korpi (Jorma Tommila), a solitary gold prospector and Winter War veteran living in northern Finland who crosses paths with Nazis on a scorched-earth retreat in the last desperate days of World War II. When the Nazis steal his gold, they quickly discover that they have 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.
The following installations are offering the special showings April 22:
