Retired US admiral Sandecker's foundation finances various projects worldwide, including high tech marine salvage by brilliant Dirk Pitt's US Navy Seal veterans team including buddy Al Giordino, which dreams of finding the mysteriously missing Confederal gold aboard the ironclad battleship 'of Death'. Pitts bumps into evidence for his theory it crossed the Atlantic up the river Niger, where the admiral has an environmental project. Alas, it's a West African dictatorship where the ruthless president suppresses the desert people, in league with billionaire French energy industrialist Yves Massarde. Saving reckless WHO epidemics researcher Dr. Eva Rojas, he learns the secret abducted tribal slaves-run waste plant's toxic output threatens, through an underground fluvial system, to pollute the ocean and hence cause a global killer epidemic.
Leave your thoughts about Sahara.
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertI enjoyed this movie on its own dumb level. |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerWilliam ArnoldThe casting is so strong and the overall filmmaking flair of the movie is so captivating that it basically works. |
| The New York TimesStephen HoldenAs Sahara careens between swashbuckling silliness and semi-serious comment, it builds up reserves of energy and good will that pay off when it bursts into its final sprint, a rootin'-tootin' 21-gun finale as satisfying as it is preposterous. |
| EDGE BostonPhil HallAn interesting documentary on the tumultuous history of Africa's great desert. |
| EmpireDan JolinAbout as good as a big, stupid American action movie can be without ever being anything better than a big, stupid American action movie. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumThis insanely busy, exceedingly long, and sometimes endearingly preposterous rendering has simply gotten the directions reversed in its insistence on sticking only to where men-who-make-adventure-flicks have gone before. |
| Film ThreatPete Vonder HaarIt ain't art, and it's dumber than I'd like, but I don't imagine you were expecting Kieslowski. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliTakes the action/adventure story to new heights of preposterousness. In a way, that's not a bad thing, since it allows a certain level of guilty enjoyment. |
| Charlotte ObserverLawrence ToppmanThe movie, first preposterously entertaining and then just preposterous, makes James Bond films look as logical as Euclidean geometry. |
| Miami HeraldRene RodriguezIt's not that Sahara is offensively bad: It's just that the picture, loud and busy as it is, never really finds its own identity. |
