Get ready for a heart-pounding cinematic experience as Lionsgate Play presents the highly anticipated premiere of Kandahar this October 20, 2023. This gripping action-drama film follows CIA Black Ops agent Tom Harris, played by Gerard Butler (Greenland, Angel Has Fallen, 300), and his Afghan interpreter Mo, played by Navid Negahban (TV’s Homeland, 24, Legion).
When a whistleblower exposes Tom’s involvement in the destruction of an Iranian nuclear facility, he becomes a target of deadly forces. Tom must fight against time to reach safety; with just 30 hours to make it to the airport in Kandahar, Afghanistan, he forms an unlikely alliance with Mo, whose tragic past fuels his disdain for bloodshed. As they navigate treacherous terrain and evade relentless pursuers, Tom and Mo’s friendship becomes a beacon of hope amidst the chaos.
Kandahar has made history as the first Western movie filmed entirely in Saudi Arabia. Talking about the experience filming in the city of Al’Ula, Gerard Butler said, “That was an exceptionally unique place to film and live. From the second I arrived there, I knew it was special. I’d seen photos of the area of course, and I knew it looked amazing, but just the energy there is what really takes you by surprise… I loved being in Al’Ula and discovering Saudi Arabia In my time off, I spent time just seeing the history, the nature. But in terms of a canvas to film on, there’s so much personality there, and it’s so dynamic. The location adds a whole other character in the movie.
About the film’s premiere on Lionsgate Play, Lionsgate Philippines General Manager Cecille Mariño said, “Lionsgate Play is all about bringing high-quality entertainment to our subscribers, and Kandahar is a perfect addition to our library. With this movie, we are proud to present a thought-provoking film that showcases the talents of Gerard Butler and Navid Negagban.
