The Kite Runner

The #1 New York Times bestselling debut novel that introduced Khaled Hosseini to millions of readers over the world

Directed by Noam Shmuel

The unforgettable, heartbreaking story of the unlikely friendship between a wealthy boy and the son of his father’s servant, caught in the tragic sweep of history, The Kite Runner transports readers to Afghanistan at a tense and crucial moment of change and destruction. A powerful story of friendship, it is also about the power of reading, the price of betrayal, and the possibility of redemption; and an exploration of the power of fathers over sons—their love, their sacrifices, their lies.

Duration - 2 hours 30 minutes with intermission.
