Sahara
The premise and the trailers lead you to believe this movie is a confederate "National Treasure" in the desert, but it is really more like Indiana Jones meets James Bond without the spy gadgetry. Two ex-military types looking for underwater treasure get mixed up with a World Health Organization doctor looking for an outbreak of the plague... only to find themselves in the middle of a third world civil war as a coverup unfolds in the desert. This funny action-adventure film is a romp and a wild ride through the desert. It's somewhat predictable, but still entertaining if you check your brain at the door.
Alien gives it 3 "long lost treasure" stars out of 4.
