Occasionally, Hollywood movies have some parts where they showcase Africa as a continent.
It could be just a scene, sometimes not even shot in the country but on a set designed to look like the country but they try to meet the country halfway at least. Here are a few times we remember Hollywood showcasing Nigeria in movies.
1. Sahara
