Seasoned adventurer and treasure hunter Dirk Pitt, a former Navy SEAL, sets out for the African desert with his wisecracking buddy Al in search of a confederate ironclad battleship rumored to have vanished long ago, the main draw being the treasure supposedly hidden within the lost vessel. When the daring duo come across Dr. Eva Rojas, a beautiful scientist who is juggling an escape from a warlord and a mission to stop the spread of a powerful plague, their desert expedition begins to heat up.

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
ActuallyGlimmer The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
teamroper620 If the producers, screenwriters, and director would have actually read the book; they would have known they had a possible franchise that could possibly eclipse James Bond and Indiana Jones. I say this because I have read very one of Clive Cusslers Dirk Pitt novels and Dirk Pitt, in the novels, is a combination of James Bond and Indiana Jones. Dirk Pitt is a great character that has the potential, if done correctly, to be Hollywood gold. If you don't believe me, just read one of the Dirk Pitt novels. I would suggest starting with Pacific Vortex, the first one in the series.
bquick94 This movie did a great job at making a modern Indiana Jones based off the Clive Cussler character, I don't see why Hollywood is wasting everyone's time making more awful Tomb Raider remakes when there are tons of Dirk Pitt story's to get into! Not to mention how much better an actor McConaughey has become, and such a badass Dirk Pitt is. I'd say it's about time there's a big enough fan-base for this. Let's get it going learn from whatever mistakes you think this movie made and perfect the damn sequel. Why not we have enough remake disasters.
hayesyork My husband left so I was going to change the channel, but started watching it and I was surprised that I actually enjoyed watching it. Got on Internet to see cast listing and was surprised again at the bad reviews. It isn't the best movie, but I liked it and it kept my attention. I'm not a big fan of Matthew M., but he was okay and didn't act like God's gift so much in this movie. Unexpected enjoyable movie for a Saturday afternoon.
cinemajesty "Sahara" directed by Breck Eisner's dream of a Hollywood Movie of his own coming true, getting all the goods from Producer Mace Neufeld, a closer friend of his father's Michael Eisner, former Walt Disney CEO (1984-2005), engaging quite a cast from Matthew McConaughey to Penélope Cruz over Steve Zahn to William H. Macy and Delroy Lindo to follow anticipating times of another "Indiana Jones" movie to be released in Spring 2005 to an extent of throwing the script overboard and enjoy the ride over eye-popping action, slapstick ingredients and a romance between the two leads that could not fool the U.S. audience to let the movie become a smash hit with an 130 Million U.S. Dollar production budget and 65 Million U.S. Dollars in domestic revenue; too loose have been tight all the knots of the screenplay together by the end of it that I am surprised that even after a review 12 and a 1/2 year later, we still can have such an entertaining "Sahara" time with so much non-sense at once on our hands.© 2017 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)
