Gerard Butler is set to star in Thunder Road and Capstone Group’s action feature “Kandahar,” marking his third collaboration with filmmaker Ric Roman Waugh following “Angel Has Fallen” and the upcoming “Greenland”.
Butler plays Tom Harris, an undercover CIA operative working in the Middle East. An intelligence leak dangerously exposes his classified mission and reveals his covert identity.
Stuck in the heart of hostile territory, Harris and his translator must fight their way out of the desert to an extraction point in Kandahar, Afghanistan, while eluding the elite special forces hunting them.
Waugh will direct from a screenplay he wrote with former military intelligence officer Mitchell LaFortune. Butler, Alan Siegel, Christian Mercuri, Basil Iwanyk and Erica Lee will produce.
