The trailer sees Butler’s character sabotage Iran’s nuclear weapons program before his covert mission is exposed in a crippling intelligence leak. With his interpreter, played by Navid Negahban, Tom embarks on a dangerous mission across hostile territory in order to reach an extraction point in Kandahar, Afghanistan.

Navid Negahban (Homeland), Ali Fazal (Victoria & Abdul), Travis Fimmel (Vikings), and Bollywood star Elnaaz Norouzi (Sacred Games) star alongside Butler for this intense thriller co-written by Waugh and Mitchell LaFortune, based on his own experiences as a military intelligence officer during the Snowden leaks.

Open Road Films acquired the U.S. rights to Kandahar in an eight-figure deal. The stylish action film reunites Butler with Waugh, who teamed for Angel Has Fallen and Greenland.
