Kandahar: Action film meets espionage thriller
The script for the film was written by Mitchell LaFortune was inspired by his own life. The former military officer was himself stationed in Afghanistan with the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA)., when whistleblower Edward Snowden exposed the workings of American secret services. The plot is reminiscent of a spy thriller, what Kandahar more depth and tension and thus sets him apart from the classic representatives of his genre.

Kandahar is the third collaboration between Gerard Butler and director Ric Roman Waugh.
The chases through the desert in Kandahar are particularly spectacular. The scenes were shot including in the Al-Ula region in Saudi Arabia, where a large-scale American production set up its tents for the first time. The Arab country wants to become more modern and open and is increasingly focusing on expanding the film industry (via Deadline).
This is what Kandahar is about
