Clint Mansell is mostly famous for his driving, ambient, dramatic scores like Requiem for a Dream and The Fountain. But in 2005 he came up with this fun action track, for the adventurous 'Sahara', based on the novel by Clive Cussler. It's good old-fashioned action music, which takes a distinctly Bond-esque turn at around two minutes into this scene.
Starring Matthew McConaughey, Penélope Cruz, Steve Zahn, William H. Macy and Rainn Wilson, Directed by Breck Eisner, with original score by Clint Mansell.
