Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Sahara is a 2005 action-adventure film directed by Breck Eisner, loosely adapted from Clive Cussler's 1992 novel of the same name.Matthew McConaughey stars as Adventure Archaeologist Dirk Pitt. While engaged in a deep-sea salvage off the coast of Nigeria with his partner Al Giordino (Steve Zahn), Dirk discovers evidence that a lost Civil War ironclad may have managed to cross the Atlantic and wind up in Western Africa. Simultaneously, he saves the life of a WHO doctor (Penélope Cruz), who is investigating the source of a strange disease. Together they travel up the Niger River, searching for the missing ship and the toxins causing the disease, while evading the forces of General Kazim (Lennie James), who rules over the region and may have something to do with the plague.Not to be confused with the 1983 film of the same name. Lambert Wilson coincidentally starred in both. Also not to be confused with Bogey's Sahara (1943) or Belushi's 1995 remake.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Adaptation Amalgamation: The NUMA ship here is named Martha Ann, which in the novel series was a secret ship used by the U.S. Navy.

Artistic License – Law: Sandecker uses Exact Words to avoid giving the Confederate gold to the US, as it is Confederate gold, not US gold. But legally, the CSA is considered a part of the US, not a separate country, and anything the CSA owned would automatically become the property of the US after being readmitted to the Union — it is now gold that belongs to the US. Of course, it's quite possible that Sandecker knows this and is just straight-up lying as he actually gave the gold to support the Tuareg village.

Adventurer Archaeologist: The National Underwater and Marine Agency appears to be a sort of heroes for hire outfit for examples of this trope. Dirk is the straightest example in the cast, while Al is more of an Adventurer Archaeologist's Beleaguered Assistant, although he does have plenty of badass moments of his own.
