Samuel L. Jackson landed himself the role of the President of the United States in the action comedy called “Big Game,” which is set to premiere this week at the Toronto Film Festival. On this occasion, a special clip has been released online.

The movie also features Onni Tommila in the role of the 13-year-old Oskari, a boy who takes on the traditional challenge of spending a day and a night into the wilderness as part of his coming of age ritual.

On his trek in the woods, Oskari finds the US President hiding out in the Air Force One escape pod. In his typical funny style, Samuel emerges to boast that he's the President of the United States and that he needs his army.

A band of terrorists appear immediately to capture the President, and that's where the action and comedy really begin. The movie is directed by Jalmari Helander, being his first English-language project, and it also stars Ray Stevenson, Jim Broadbent and Felicity Huffman.

The plot for the film reads, “Plunged into a deadly game of cat and mouse with only hours to spare, Oskari and the President must team up to survive the most extraordinary night of their lives.” “Big Game” is set to be released in theaters sometime next year.
