The movie follows the story of Dirk Pitt (played by Matthew McConaughey), a daring explorer and treasure hunter who works for the National Underwater and Marine Agency (NUMA). Alongside his partner Al Giordino (played by Steve Zahn), Dirk embarks on a mission to uncover the secrets of a lost Civil War ironclad, the CSS Texas, rumored to be hidden in the African desert.
As Dirk and Al investigate the Texas, they stumble upon a conspiracy involving toxic waste dumping in the Niger Delta. They team up with Dr. Eva Rojas (played by Penélope Cruz), a World Health Organization doctor investigating a deadly disease outbreak in Mali, to uncover the truth behind the toxic dumping and the outbreak.

They race against time to stop Kazim and his men from launching missiles filled with the deadly toxins.
With the help of their resourcefulness and ingenuity, Dirk, Al, and Eva manage to thwart Kazim’s plans and destroy the missiles before they can be launched. They also uncover evidence of a vast underground river system beneath the desert, which could provide clean water to millions of people in Africa.
