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.

U.S. Rating: PG-13
We could say that Sahara is kind of a bad mix of great plots like Indiana Jones & National Treasure, with some sort of funny and enjoyable moments. Matthew McConaughey and Steve Zahn play the roles of explorers or... treasure hunters in Africa. Trying to find an old ship that was part of a history legend, they get involved in such an epic adventure trying to solve a mysterious threat that have been poisoning and killing the locals. They meet Penelope Cruz, who plays the role of a doctor from the World Health Organization and all three together try to find the connection between the civil-war ship and the mysterious threat, facing so many different situations and adventures until the moment they find the source of the threat and destroy it, as well as they find the old ship and get the gold hidden for decades in it. A pretty silly and dumb plot with a good cast, offering some really good laughs and entertaining scenes.
What did I like from this movie?
1. The moment when Matthew and Steve are in the middle of the desert and find the old plane, looking for a toolkit
2. When they're inside the chemical factory and Steve tells Matthew that he'll look for the bomb and Matthew should save the girl, kind of a dumb cliche, but was really funny
3. Some few good action and comedy scenes
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. A pretty lousy plot. We don't know if compare it with these great films like Indiana Jones or National Treasure. It would be the worst, since these films would make Sahara look like the worst movie ever
I would rate this movie with a 3/5

Enjoy it!... Watch it!
This is one of my favorite movies of all time!!! I LOVE this movie!
I don't remember much of this one now, but I remember thinking it was pretty good when I saw it. I've never watched it again, though. I might have to give it another try.
