In the year 2005, a Hollywood film named 'Sahara' was released. This film was made on a big budget, and the makers expected that it would perform well at the box office. But the reality was completely different. The audience did not like the film, and due to this the makers had to suffer huge losses. Not only this, the name of 'Sahara' was included in the list of the biggest flop films of the world.

Included in the list of flop films of IMDB

IMDb has placed 'Sahara' at the fifth place in the list of 'The Biggest Box Office Flops in Movie History'. The film was an action-adventure, and it was directed by Breck Eisner. The film had big name actors, such as Matthew McConaughey, Steve Zahn and Penelope Cruz, but despite this, the film flopped badly at the box office.

What was the story of 'Sahara'?

The story of the film 'Sahara' was based on the search for an ironclad warship lost in the Sahara Desert of North Africa. Sahara is the largest and hottest desert in the world, and this location was chosen for shooting the film. The story of the film was interesting, but it failed to draw the audience to the theatres.

How big was the loss?

The makers had spent a total of 240 million dollars (about 2000 crores rupees) in making 'Sahara', which also included a large part of marketing and promotion. However, the film earned only 120 million dollars worldwide. That is, only about half of the cost of the film could be recovered. Due to this, the makers suffered a huge loss of about 144 million dollars (1217 crores rupees).

Time magazine also mentioned the flop

Time magazine has also called 'Sahara' one of the biggest flop films in the world. Here it has been placed at the fourth position. According to this report, 'Sahara' earned much less than its production and marketing, due to which the makers suffered a huge loss.

Why did 'Sahara' not work?

Both the story and the star cast of the film were excellent, but despite this, why the film flopped remains a question. Some people believe that too much money was spent on the marketing of the film, while the script of the film was not strong enough to draw the audience to the theatres.
