Kabul Express is the story of five individuals linked by hate and
fear, but brought together by fate to finally recognize each other.
Five people from different worlds, their paths are destined to
cross in a country devastated by war Afghanistan.
The film takes place after the events of 9/11, when America has
invaded Afghanistan, which was then under the control of the
Taliban. The survivors of the old regime are trying to escape the
wrath of the Afghans. At great risk Suhel Khan (John Abraham) and
Jai Kapoor (Arshad Warsi), two Indian television reporters, enter
Afghanistan with a dangerous aim: to film a documentary on the
condition of Afghanistan. They attempt to get an interview with a
Taliban soldier captured by the Afghans. Helping them is their
Afghan guide, translator and driver, Khyber (Hanif Hum Ghum), with
his Toyota jeep called Kabul Express. They soon come across Jessica
Beckham (Linda Arsenio) who is a photo journalist.
Their road trip becomes hell when the group are kidnapped at
gunpoint by a Pakistani soldier who was once part of the Taliban
regime. The soldier, called Imran (Salman Shahid), orders them to
drive him to the Pakistani-Afghan border. Jessica is soon captured
by Imran after she follows the Indians thinking they have found a
huge story. The film follows the next 48 hours of the five
individuals.
As the film unfolds, a special relationship develops between the
Afghan, the Pakistani, the two Indians and the American.
