## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Sahel. Endless dunes, circa now. A dull glint off corroded brass.
Dirk Pitt hunts a lost Confederate ironclad, chasing whispers of hidden gold with his pal Al. They meet Eva Rojas, MD, fleeing local gunfire, tracking a toxic bloom.
Breck Eisner’s Sahara is passable matinee fare.
