Synopsis

"Rock the Kasbah" is a 2015 comedy directed by Barry Levinson that follows the story of Richie Lanz (played by Bill Murray), a down-on-his-luck music manager, who finds himself in Afghanistan on a USO tour. When his last remaining client (played by Zooey Deschanel) ditches him in Kabul, Richie stumbles upon a talented young singer named Salima (played by Leem Lubany) with dreams of appearing on the popular TV show "Afghan Star." With the help of a quirky arms dealer (played by Bruce Willis), Richie embarks on a mission to help Salima achieve her musical aspirations and navigate the challenges of the war-torn country. Set against the backdrop of war and cultural clashes, "Rock the Kasbah" blends comedy, music, and heartfelt moments as Richie and Salima defy the odds to chase their dreams. The film explores themes of resilience, the power of music to transcend boundaries, and the unexpected connections that can form in the most unlikely of places. With standout performances from the star-studded cast, including Zooey Deschanel, Leem Lubany, Bill Murray, and Bruce Willis, "Rock the Kasbah" offers a unique and entertaining take on the universal language of music in the midst of chaos and conflict.
