A fast-paced adventure where humor, romance and dangerous situations collide under the scorching sun!
Master adventurer and naval specialist Dirk Pitt (Matthew McConaughey) finds the challenge of a lifetime when he comes across a historic coin that is linked to the legendary local legend of the "Ship of Death" - a Civil War-era ironclad that disappeared into the desert sands while carrying a mysterious cargo.
Together with his humorous partner Al Giordino (Steve Zahn) and a smart UN doctor (Penélope Cruz), Dirk heads across West Africa into the heart of the Sahara. The group soon discovers that they are not just being pursued by treasure hunters, but are at the center of a dangerous conspiracy that threatens the entire world.
