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.

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.
“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.
Talking about the experience filming in the city of Al’Ula, Gerard Butler said.
