A has-been rock manager from California stumbles upon a once-in-a-lifetime voice in a remote Afghan cave in Rock the Kasbah, a dramatic comedy inspired by stranger-than-fiction, real-life events and directed by Oscar winner Barry Levinson (1988 Best Director, Rain Man). Richie Lanz (Bill Murray), dumped and stranded in wartorn Kabul by his last remaining client (Zooey Deschanel), discovers Salima Khan (Leem Lubany), a Pashtun teenager with a beautiful voice and the courageous dream of becoming the first woman to compete on national television in Afghanistan’s version of “American Idol.” Richie partners with a savvy hooker (Kate Hudson), a pair of hard-partying war profiteers (Danny McBride and Scott Caan) and a hair-trigger mercenary (Bruce Willis) and, braving dangerous cultural prejudices, manages his new protégée into becoming the “Afghan Star.”
Barry Levinson directs this comedy starring Bill Murray as Richie Lanz, an aged and washed-up rock music manager. On a whim, Lanz decides to take his only remaining client, part-time singer and part-time secretary Ronnie (Zooey Deschanel) on a tour of United States Army stations in Afghanistan. On arrival, a stunned Ronnie pockets Lanz's cash and passport and bolts. Stranded, Richie Lanz ends up undertaking a gun run to rural villages on behalf of unhinged Kabul don (Bruce Willis), where he encounters shy Salima (Leem Lubany) who has an extraordinary voice although culture forbids her from singing in public. Sensing potential success, Richie helps Salima travel to Kabul where he enters her in 'Afghan Star', the Afghani version of 'American Idol'.
