synopsis
When master explorer Dirk Pitt finds a fabled coin linked to a historical legend, he takes on the adventure of his life as he embarks on a treasure hunt through some of the most dangerous regions of West Africa. As they search for what locals call the “Ship of Death”--a long-lost Civil War battleship that protects a secret cargo--Dirk and his wisecracking sidekick, Al Giordino, meet Dr. Eva Rojas, a beautiful and brilliant doctor who believes that the hidden treasure may be connected to a larger problem that threatens the world around them. Hunting for a ship that no one else thinks exists, Dirk, Al, and Eva must rely on their wits and their daring heroics to outsmart dangerous warlords, survive the threatening terrain, and get to the bottom of both mysteries.

reviews
Is Sahara the most boring, most derivative, most contrived, most ridiculous action/adventure movie ever made…or is it merely an excuse for Matthew McConaughey to make a commercially viable buddy-buddy flick while kicking back, downing some brews, and getting sand in his teeth in the most incredible locations known to mankind? I really can't decide.

An ironclad battleship, lost since the Civil War, is found in the Sahara desert by explorer Dirk Pitt (Matthew McConaughey), who uses the ship's ancient cannons to defend himself, his Italian buddy Al Giordino (Steve Zahn) and Dr. Eva Rojas (Penelope Cruz), the babe scientist they just happen to have on board. The enemy is the African dictator (Lennie James) who is now strafing them from his chopper. That cool scene and others like it -- a nifty chase in a high-tech speedboat that Pitt borrows…
