The movie follows U.S. Army sergeant Joe Gunn and his tank in the Sahara desert as they attempting to cross the desert to seek for a fabled water-well. When they run into thirsty German troops, they miraculously and successfully manage to hold them off until help arrives.
From the WIKI: The Los Angeles Times presented an extensive special report on April 15, 2007, dissecting the budget of Sahara as an example of how Hollywood movies can cost so much to produce and fail. Many of the often closely held documents had been leaked after a lawsuit involving the film. Among some of the items in the budget were bribes to the Moroccan government, some of which may have been legally questionable under American law. In 2014, the Los Angeles Times listed the film as one of the most expensive flops of all time.
Vapid, lengthy, and mostly lifeless -- kind of like the desert it's named for.

Sahara is many things, but it is not a movie. It is the skull-splitting cacophony of 21 producers and four screenwriters (that we know about, anyway) standing in the same room shouting into their cell phones.
For an adventure movie based on chase scenes in exotic locations "Sahara" never takes hold because director Breck Eisner and his team of screenwriters can't agree on what the story's about or what tone should resonate against it.
For "Sahara," the problem is that we have the Indiana Jones movies to compare it to, and I'm afraid there's no comparison. It's never more than a likable poseur.
