Description
Dirk (Matthew McConaughey) and Al (Steve Zahn) have been friends since kindergarten, having also gone through college and the Navy together. The two now work for a former admiral traveling around the world and salvaging treasures from the sea with the National Underwater and Marine Agency (NUMA). In his spare time, Dirk is obsessed with the 150-year-old mystery of the Texas, an Ironclad battleship that reportedly disappeared from Richmond, Virginia during a Civil War battle and turned up in Africa. When a Confederate coin--allegedly one of only five minted--surfaces in Mali, Dirk and Al plan to travel there from Lagos, Nigeria on the admiral's yacht to investigate. Meanwhile, in Lagos, Dirk meets Eva (Penelope Cruz), a doctor for the World Health Organization (WHO) who believes that there is a plague building in Mali. Since the WHO is unable to find another way into the war-torn country, Dirk and Al give Eva and her colleague a lift up the river. Once in Mali, Dirk, Al, and Eva quickly find themselves embroiled in trouble as she pursues the source of the disease. Meanwhile, Dirk and Al search for the Texas.Based on a novel by Clive Cussler, SAHARA is a rollicking thrill ride through exotic locales, including everything from high-speed boat chases to helicopter pursuits to jeeps racing through the desert to camel rides. A warlord and a greedy French businessman prove to be formidable villains for the trio. McConaughey fits the bill as gentleman and adventurer Dirk, while Zahn holds his own as likeable sidekick Al. Cruz is feisty as independent Eva. Director Breck Eisner's theatrical feature film debut also features William H. Macy as the admiral.

Strengths: Matthew McCaunahey (SP) acts in this movie as the hero hunk.
Weakness: cute movie but rushed in places hard to believe
This movie starts out strong and quick. Played by great actors. If you are looking for the book in this movie, you may be disappointed it does not elaborate on the book. The plot is believable. Bad man is knowingly poisining the towns folks and when the good guys uncover his scheme they also uncover treasure.
Strengths: Simply...the best...takes you out of the norm and throws you into a terrific DP adventure!
Weakness: None :o)
Feel good, do good, perform good movie! Dirk Pitt fans won't be disappointed. Waiting for move 2 and 3 which are supposed to be coming soon. Steve Zahn and Matthew Mccaunaghy (spell it right?)...can't get any better!
Strengths: loved the chemistry between Matthew McConaughey and Steve Zahn. they were the funniest pals I've seen in a long time. Hope they make another movie together!!!!
Weakness: Absolutely none!!!!!
I really hope they make another movie together. the comraderie between them was hilarious to say the least. please let the powers that be in Hollywood put them together in another movie. I absolutely love Matthew McConaughey and Steve Zahn together!!!!!

Terrible
Strengths: Uh, can't think of any- oh, the scenery is gorgeous.
Weakness: The execution of the plot, the script, the depiction of the characters...etc, etc...
This movie is ridiculously far fetched even for Hollywood standards. The acting is so terrible that even my 12 year old daughter was rolling her eyes watching it. Those who read the book will be woefully disappointed.
