Master explorer Dirk Pitt (Matthew McConaughey) takes on the adventure of his life when he embarks on a treasure hunt through some of the most dangerous regions of North Africa. Searching for whal locals call "The Ship of Death", a long lost Civil War battleship filled with coins, Pitt and his wisecracking sidekick (Steve Zahn) use their wits and clever heroics to help Doctor Eva Rojas (Penelope Cruz) who believes the ship may be linked to mysterious deaths in the very same area.

The book by Clive Cussler that spawned the movie was amazing. The movie, yeah not so much. I love McConaughey, but he was not the right person to play Dirk Pitt and the film company did not relay the book well.

I was hoping this would become a franchise. My understanding is that it was sort of snake-bit from the beginning. I seem to recall it ended with lawsuits and recriminations. Too bad, it is a fun film.

This might be my favorite movie of all time. The music choices and the cast and the story, I just never get tired of watching it.
