“Sahara”
Paramount, $29.95
WHO’S IN IT: Penelope Cruz, Matthew McConaughey, Steve Zahn

BEST EXTRA: Director Breck Eisner and McConaughey share one of two commentary tracks, which is casual, entertaining and even informative.
SECRETS REVEALED: The feature

“Visualizing ‘Sahara’ ” talks about the filters and effects used to make the set seem hot.

IF YOU LIKED THIS, TRY: “National Treasure,” the source of those curious feelings of deja vu.
