Overview
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.

Viewing Notes
Another re-watch, we thought the kids would really enjoy this film, and they did. It really is a kind of modern-day Indiana Jones, and I mean that very positively.
It’s rare when a movie can be family friendly and pull off a well-balanced blend of action/adventure and comedy. Sahara delivers on all fronts, thanks in no small part to Steve Zahn’s brilliant turn as the comedic buddy to McConaughey’s charming leading man.
