Having just wrapped production after a seven-week shoot in Saudi Arabia’s desert region of AlUla and Jeddah, Thunder Road Films and Capstone have shared two first-look images from Kandahar, the latest collaboration between director Ric Roman Waugh and star Gerard Butler.
The action thriller sees Butler starring as Tom Harris, an undercover CIA operative, stuck deep in hostile territory in Afghanistan. He must fight his way out, alongside his Afghan translator played by Navid Negahban (Aladdin), to an extraction point in Kandahar, all whilst avoiding the elite special forces tasked with hunting them down.
