Early in the film, the character Tim Horton asks a colleague about the characteristics of a desert. The colleague replies that they are 'hot'. This is not true, since Antarctica is a desert and is not thought of as being 'hot'. There are many ways to classify an area as a desert. Two of the main methods are that total precipitation is less than 10 inches, and the evaporation being greater than precipitation. 'Hot' is too subjective a term since many people will disagree on what qualifies as 'hot'. See more »Frequently Asked Questions

Interesting situation. Stereotypical characters spouting rhetoric. Quite the movie about 45 minutes in. I would suggestion watching something else. The historical references don't seem correct, just repetitive. Hope this helps others find a more interesting movie.
