5 Movies That Turned Out To Be Mostly About Matthew McConaughey's Abs

3. Sahara (2005)

Mcconnaughey Meet Dirk Pitt, a sweet-shaped explorer who goes searching for a lost.....wait, this sounds familiar. Sahara is the story of one adventurer's efforts to find a lost ship in the deserts of Africa, while helping a young female doctor overcome issues with a tyrannical dictator. On this occasion, McConaughey's abs don't feature quite as much as usual - the film is mainly about what capabilities having sweet abs can give you. Wildly unwinnable situations and unrealistic survivals are nothing to the seemingly indestructible Dirk Pitt (and his abs), seeing as he outwits and out muscles an entire dictatorial nation without so much as doing one sit-up, while at the same time living through some of the harshest environments and most vicious attacks ever suffered by anyone ever. He also manages to use his abs to turn a plane wreck into a kind of desert windsurfing thing. It all boils down to one thing - if you're watching a film so wildly farcical as this, what the hell else is there to look at apart Matt's rock-hard stomach?
