The movie was the subject of a bitter dispute about who was responsible for its losses. Neither side ultimately wins. “The case may have been much ado about less than nothing — $105 million less than nothing. That is the sum of money that “Sahara,” with a $160 million budget and starring Matthew McConaughey and Penélope Cruz, has lost for its investors, principally Crusader Entertainment. Along the way, jurors and the public have learned that Hollywood studios and best-selling authors sometimes exaggerate or lie.”
