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.

Ratings and reviews

How To Murder A Good Book? No wonder Clive Cussler backed off this disastrous film version of an epic book. He probably cries himself to sleep at night knowing this is out there.

Ok, so author Clive Cussler backed out from this and it's solidly well acted - but it is a good adventure film. Why didn't he back it?

OK so I haven't read the book but I did enjoy the film and good acting. looking forward to reading the book. It would be nice to have more of Clive Cussler books made into films.
