What critics compared Raise the Titanic to
So, there they are one day, happily trolling on the Niger River in a speedboat borrowed from N.U.M.A.'s grumpy chief, Admiral Sandecker (a tongue-in-cheek William H. Macy in a part previously played by Jason Robards in 1980's "Raise the Titanic"), for tell-tale bumps on the bottom when their water sampling turns up a strange chemical that wouldn't likely be found in a river.
Dirk has a thing about long-lost ships; readers may recall that he was also the hero of " Raise the Titanic " (1980), a movie so expensive that its producer, Lord Lew Grade, observed, "It would have been cheaper to lower the ocean."
Emmet Walsh combo of Raise the Titanic, but something is still off with a chemistry that should come natural to these two.
Sahara is based on a silly Clive Cussler novel -- oh, admit it: you know you read Raise the Titanic in your shipwreck…
The movie is based on the popular novel by Clive Cussler ("Raise The Titanic").
