The official trailer for Gerard Butler’s upcoming action film Kandahar has been released. The action thriller is the first major US production to be shot in Saudi Arabia’s AlUla, known for its striking rock formations and ancient tombs.
Butler, who plays an undercover CIA operative in the film, reunites with director Ric Roman Waugh, with whom he’s worked in films such as Angel Has Fallen and Greenland. Kandahar tells the story of Tom Harris (Butler) whose mission is exposed while he is stuck deep in hostile territory in Afghanistan. With the help of an Afghan translator, he must find his way to an extraction point in Kandahar, all while avoiding different forces tasked with hunting him down.
