Yes, you're looking for an external redirect, that is completely
different thing. Then this config will serve your needs:

  server {
      listen          80;
      server_name     sample.com;

      root /var/www/sample/public_html;

      location = / {
          try_files /index.html =404;
      }

      location / {
          return 302 /;
      }
  }

 - http://nginx.org/r/try_files
 - http://nginx.org/r/location
