Synopsis

Kabul, August 15, 2021. US troops are preparing to withdraw from Afghanistan, while the Taliban are marching on the capital to seize power. Amid the chaos, Commander Mohamed Bida and his men are in charge of security at the French embassy, the last Western mission to remain open. Trapped along with 500 people, left to their own devices, the team must reach the airport at all costs. A perilous mission with no guarantee of success to flee the hell of Kabul and rescue what remains of humanity.

Where to see this movie

Community Reviews

Viewers find '13 Days, 13 Nights: In the Hell of Kabul' a gripping and emotionally charged film, capturing the tense evacuation of the French embassy in Kabul. The performances, particularly by Roschdy Zem, are praised for their authenticity and intensity. While the film successfully maintains suspense and provides a nuanced portrayal of the events, some critics felt it leaned too heavily on heroic clichés and lacked depth in exploring the political context and the Taliban's perspective.

👍 Authentic performances and intense suspense

👎 May oversimplify complex political situations
