Overview

• The story follows Aatami Korpi dismantling his family home to relocate it across newly redrawn post‑WWII borders while Soviet forces pursue him.
• The film escalates through large‑scale set pieces featuring motorcycles, planes, trains, and tanks, with inventive, over‑the‑top kills and practical stuntwork.
• Jorma Tommila returns in a largely wordless lead performance praised for physicality and emotional weight, opposite Stephen Lang as antagonist Igor Draganov.
• Helander told Variety he conceived the ‘take your home back’ premise after initially resisting a sequel, and he credited Sony with suggesting Lang for the role.
