Sahara 2005
If you're in the mood for a 21st century desert-themed James Bondalike National Treasurey sort of thing, here you go.
Good fun. Not the most true-to-source casting choices, but great cast chemistry and convincing delivery of inoffensively low-grade script.

Nicely choreographed action and chase sequences.

The voice cast is great, there's some wonderful action sequences, and the humor is very British.
All in all, a hearty "recommend" for a lighthearted adventure romp mood.
