In a divided country on the verge of war, two childhood friends, Amir and Hassan, are about to be torn apart forever. It’s a glorious afternoon in Kabul and the skies are bursting with the exhilarating joy of a kite-fighting tournament. But in the aftermath of the day’s victory, one boy’s fearful act of betrayal will mark their lives forever and set in motion an epic quest for redemption. Now, after 20 years of living in America, Amir returns to a perilous Afghanistan under the Taliban’s iron-fisted rule to face the secrets that still haunt him and take one last daring chance to set things right.

Watching the trailer a second time made me realize what I missed the 1st time. His childhood best friend (who was like a brother to him) recently died and had sent him a letter asking him to rescue his son from the Taliban. Risking his life, he goes into the midst disguised as one of them, trying to rescue his friend’s son.
Story is pretty touching. I’d like to see how it turns out.
