Comparaison avec le livre de Clive Cussler (suite)
-La femme médecin est un des deux personnages principaux du film, alors que dans le livre, c'est un personnage secondaire. Bien évidemment, dans les deux œuvres, le médecin tombe amoureux de son beau sauveteur.
-Les deux personnages masculins du film, Dirk Pitt et Al Giordino, ne souffrent jamais de la soif, même en plein milieu du Sahara ; à l'opposé, la soif est omniprésente dans le livre.
-Le livre est beaucoup plus violent que le film.

Dans le film, Dirk Pitt et Al Giordino découvrent une carcasse d'avion déglinguée au milieu du désert, qu'ils transforment en char à voile ; c'est un épisode très court.

Finally a family-friendly action movie

I was pleasantly surprised to see how fun, fast-paced and witty this non-R rated movie came out. Beautiful scenery and Indiana Jones-like action mixed with humor and drama. Great film. I wish there were more films like this that lack the need for explicit sex, violence, drugs or swearing to get noticed. I believe strongly in movies that contain the afore mentioned elements and are for adults; it's just sad to see few family films that don't involve animated cookie cutter characters.Nice jobs by both Zahn and Cruz.The supporting characters were likable and not too cliché. Admittedly Zahn has fallen into a role of the crazy side-kick, but in this film I think he finally finds the balance of kooky and serious in the way a action movie "buddy" should.

No cinematic drought after all

It had been proposed by some that the only reason Eisner Jr. (Breck) was allowed to make this film was his relationship with Eisner Sr. (Michael). While there is no proof for such an argument either way, Breck has proved to be not much worse than other directors. In fact he did better than most and worse than some. Sahara is best described as a typical entertaining adventure in the vein of Indiana Jones or perhaps National Treasure.It has a tough good guy (McConaughey),a funny sidekick (Zane) and admirable eye-candy (Cruz) Now I admit that most things are quite shallow, but if you mix all of the above mentioned ingredients with a decent story, good action sequences and throw in the fact that there isn't one nanosecond of corniness in this movie, you inevitably end up with a crowd pleasing blockbuster.- 7,25 out of 10
