Operation Kabul takes audiences into the chaos of the 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal with a military thriller inspired by true events. The film follows a desperate evacuation as hundreds of civilians attempt to escape a collapsing Kabul, while one military unit takes on a mission far beyond the safety of the airport.
At the center of the story is a rifleman commander who leads his team into the city during a perilous nighttime operation. Their objective is to rescue a doctor who has been captured by the Taliban, turning the already dangerous evacuation into a race against time.
What begins as an effort to get people out of Afghanistan quickly becomes a high-risk combat mission, with the soldiers forced to navigate a city descending into chaos while facing an enemy that can strike at any moment. The story puts the focus on the danger and uncertainty surrounding one of the most turbulent military evacuations of recent years.
Operation Kabul is directed by Zsombor Dyga and stars Gábor Jászberényi, Blanka Mészáros, and Tamás Borovics. The film promises a tense military survival story built around a mission where there is little room for mistakes.
With its real-world inspiration and focus on soldiers operating behind enemy lines, the film looks set to deliver a gritty addition to the modern military thriller genre.
Operation Kabul arrives on Digital November 3.
