Samuel L. Jackson-starrer "Big Game" will hit Indian screens on May 22, a month before its US release.

The film features the Academy Award nominee as the US President alongside the 13-year-old Finnish star Onni Tommila, read a statement.

The story of the movie begins as the President is on route to a G-8 summit meet. The Air Force One is shot down by terrorists in an attempted assassination that leaves Jackson stranded in the European wilderness. The only person who comes to his rescue is a young boy named Oskari (Tommila) who was out on his first hunt. 

Plunged into a deadly game of cat and mouse with only hours to spare, the duo must team up to survive the most extraordinary night of their lives.

Directed by Jalmari Helander, "Big Game" debuted at Toronto International Film Festival in 2014, where it was met with general praise from critics, describing the movie as being spectacular and funny.
