a5c7b9f00b Ben Gates comes from a family of treasure hunters. Now his grandfather believes that the forefathers' buried a treasure somewhere in the country and have placed clues everywhere but unfortunately the clues are highly cryptic and scaterred all over the place. Now Ben thinks he has found it but it only leads him to another clue which is on the back of the Declaration of Independence. Now one of his associates Ian wants to steal it so that they could get the clue but Ben refuses to do it so he tries to kill Ben. But Ben evades him and tries to warn the authorities about Ian's plans but they don't believe him. So Ben takes it upon himself to steal it in order to protect it. And he does but Abigail Chase the curator of the National Archives, where it is kept, discovers what he has done and tries to stop him but gets caught in the crossfire between Ben and Ian, so Ben takes her with him. While she doesdn't believe him, he is determined to prove he is right about the treasure. But it won't be easy cause Ian's always a step behind him and he is being hunted by the FBI.
Since childhood, Benjamin Franklin Gates has known that he is decended from a long line of people whose job is to guard a treasure hidden by the Founding Fathers, who hid clues to its whereabouts in the country's currency and on the back of the Declaration of Independence. Now, he has learned of a plot to steal the Declaration, and has only one option: steal it himself. Even if he pulls off this monumental task, keeping the treasure safe is still going to be incredibly hard, especially since the FBI has also gotten wind of the scheme.
I rented this movie because I've heard it mentioned in relation to Pirates of the Caribbean which i really liked(from the box it seems the two movies share the same producer).<br/><br/>While i knew seeing Nicolas Cage pretending to be an academic would be tough, i hoped a good story good see me through.<br/><br/>Unfortunately there is no such good story,the plot is completely without surprises. You can always tell almost exactly what is going to happen next. This might not be so bad if it was pulled of with style, wit or a sense of humor, but all of these features seems missing in action.<br/><br/>The movie is in many ways (very) similar to the Tomb Raider movies in the characters surrounding the 'hero'(i wont give the details at that is a potential spoiler) and many of the major scenes. If you loved(not just liked :) the Tomb Raider movies, you will probably enjoy this movie.
What surprised me most about this film was how well it was put together. It had so much story, it was great! There was also a good mix of action and humor content. I walked in not knowing quite what to expect, I herd it was good but I still didn't know what to expect. I liked all there casting choices, Nicolas Cage, Diane Kruger, Justin Bartha I was also surprised to see Sean Bean and Jon Voight. The plot is very simple but with a lot of complex turns, but at the same time is some how easy to fallow. Ben Gates is searching for a treasure left by his ancestors, the founding fathers. They (the founding fathers) did a good job in hiding this treasure so it's not an easy job for Ben. Making it even harder is Ian Howe a treasure hunterwell; who also has his heart set on the treasure. A pretty excellent movie 8/10. Parents might want to consider seeing this movie before taking young children. (two dead bodies are seen and some violence)
Isn't any fun at all, which is ultimately the most damning thing you can say about a Bruckheimer movie.
When Ben Gates (<a href="/name/nm0000115/">Nicolas Cage</a>) was a young boy, his grandpa, John Adams Gates (<a href="/name/nm0001626/">Christopher Plummer</a>), told him how, in 1832, Charles Carroll, the last surviving signer of the United States Declaration of Independence, entrusted his stable boy, Ben's great great grandfather Thomas Gates, with the first in a series of clues that supposedly led to a vast treasure amassed by the Knights Templar. Although Ben's own father, Patrick Gates (<a href="/name/nm0000685/">Jon Voight</a>), does not believe in the legend, Ben swore to take upon himself the duty of the Knights Templar, the Freemasons and the family Gates, and has spent his entire life trying to figure out the meaning of the clue: The secret lies with Charlotte. Finally,an adult, Ben has found Charlotte and begins on his quest for the treasure. National Treasure is a Disney Production that was co-written by numerous screenwriters, including Jim Kouf, Marianne and Cormac Wibberley, Oren Aviv, Charles Segars, Ted Elliott, and Terry Rossio. A sequel, <a href="/title/tt0465234/">National Treasure: Book of Secrets (2007)</a>, followed in 2007. <a href="/title/tt1197627/">National Treasure 3</a> is currently in development with no release date known. The signers of the Declaration of Independence, some of whom were also members of the Freemasons, a reformation of the Knights Templar, hid the treasure during the American Revolution [1775-1783] to keep the British from getting their hands on it. Charlotte turns out to be The Charlotte, a sunken vessel in the Arctic Circle. Inside The Charlotte, Ben finds a meerschaum pipe bearing the second clue: The legend writ, the stain effected, the key in Silence undetected. Fifty-five in iron pen, Mr. Matlack can't offend. Ben deciphers the second clue to mean that the 55 signers of the Declaration of Independence hid the message invisibly on the back of the document. Ben must now inspect the Declaration, one of the most important historical documents in the United States. At the same time, Ben's ex-colleague, Ian Howe (<a href="/name/nm0000293/">Sean Bean</a>), has decided to steal the document and find the treasure for himself. Part of the experience in watching this movie is to try for oneself to decipher the clues and guess where they might lead, so posting that information would be a disservice. Suffice to say that the third clue presents an Ottendorf cipher that, translated, reads: The vision to see the treasured past comesthe timely shadow crosses in front of the house of Pass and Stow. The fourth clue is a pair of 3D spectacles. The fifth clue reads: Heere at the wall. The sixth clue revealed is Beneath Parkington Lane. Those schooled in American history might be able to figure out the clues for themselves. An Ottendorf cipher consists of three codes, i.e., 2-4-6, that corresponds to a random book or newspaper article. The first number corresponds to the page, the second number to the line on the page, and the third number to the letter/word in that line. Status quo refers to the way things are going at the present time, that is, the current status of things. If something changes, e.g., the power shifts, then the status quo also changes. After escaping from the treasure room, Ben contacts FBI agent Peter Sadusky (<a href="/name/nm0000172/">Harvey Keitel</a>) to return the Declaration. As they are attempting to work out a compromise, Ben sees from Sadusky's ring that he is a Freemason. They agree to give the treasure to "the people" in return for Abigail having no repercussions on her record, Riley being credited for the find, and Ben not having to go to prison. "Someone has to go to prison," Sadusky says, so Ben leads them to Boston where Ian is attempting to break into the Old North Church. Ian is arrested on charges of kidnapping, attempted murder, and trespassing on government property. In the final scene, Ben, Abigail, and Riley stroll in the garden of their estate purchased with the finders fee that they received after turning over the Declaration and the treasure. Some movies that also involve jumping through various hoops to find a valuable treasure include (1) <a href="/title/tt0033870/">The Maltese Falcon (1941)</a> (1941), in which a detective searches for a priceless statue, (2) <a href="/title/tt0079240/">The First Great Train Robbery (1978)</a> (1979), in which master criminals attempt to steal a gold shipment from a moving train, (3) <a href="/title/tt0137494/">Entrapment (1999)</a> (1999), in which two thieves plot to steal 8 billion dollars at the stroke of the transition from 1999 to 2000, (4) <a href="/title/tt0382625/">The Da Vinci Code (2006)</a> (2006), in which a symbologist Robert Langdon tries to unravel a chain of cryptic codes that could change the face of religious history, (5) <a href="/title/tt0808151/">Angels & Demons (2009)</a> (2009), in which Langdon follows a series of clues to find a destructive weapon that could level the Vatican, and (6) <a href="/title/tt3062096/">Inferno (2016)</a> (2016), in which Langdon is drawn by a trail of clues linked to Dante Alighieri [1265-1321]. Also of note are any of the Indiana Jones movies, i.e., <a href="/title/tt0082971/">Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)</a> (1981), <a href="/title/tt0087469/">Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984)</a> (1984), <a href="/title/tt0097576/">Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989)</a> (1989), and <a href="/title/tt0367882/">Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)</a> (2008), all of which center around Indy's search for various ancient artifacts.
