| Movie Description American history gets a cool make-over in this Jerry Bruckheimer-produced comedic action thriller. Nicholas Cage plays Ben Gates, the descendent of an early American patriot who has left him information relating to a vast treasure, hidden during the Revolutionary War by the Freemasons. A clue at the north pole sets things in motion, and Ben must use his formidable cryptography skills to decipher puzzles hidden in the most unlikely places--one appears on the dollar bill, and another is on the back of the U.S. constitution. Ben's unscrupulous former partner (Sean Bean) and his gang of thugs are also after the treasure for selfish, evil purposes. A plot to steal the Constitution sets off a 13-colony-wide chase with all the trimmings: cops going after the wrong man, the rescue of a cute female cryptographer (Diane Kruger) who tags along for the ride, and Jon Voight answering the door in the middle of the night as Ben's disapproving father. High-speed editing and a clever script make this an enjoyable history lesson, with Cage's character masquerading as his own versions of Sherlock Holmes, Indiana Jones, and an over-caffeinated Washington D.C. tour guide. He and Kruger demonstrate some fine romantic chemistry, and Justin Bartha gets off some legitimately funny lines as Ben's long-suffering sidekick. Last but not least, Harvey Keitel makes a very cool FBI chief.

This movie incorporates many historical riddles and is filled with a lot of action. Benjamin Gates (Nicolas Cage) is looking for a treasure using a clue passed down his family from generation to generation. He solves the first clue which leads him to steel the most important document in American history: the Declaration of Independence. Want to make the plot even more suspensful. one of his former buddies, has gone against him and he too wants to steel the Declaration and find the treausure. Who will steel the Declaration? What will happen to it? And is there even a treasure at all? This movie is one of the most suspenseful movies ever and I highly recommend it. Review ID: 10000000002853658 Was this review helpful?

This is like a modern day indian jones movie. Nicholas Cage is excellent. From the movie title, I thought it was going to be a corny movie but it turned out to be really great.

Report this review  Not Really Into Nicholas Cage But....Review created: 04/26/07 by: 2 of 5 people found this review helpful. Not Really Into Nicholas Cage But.... this was a darn good action flick!! The story is good, the plot moves along nicely, and for an action flick it isn't overly violent! And Nicholas Cage is good in this movie! Michael Review ID: 10000000003441463 Was this review helpful? Report this review National Treasure: Turning Historic Items into Clues2 of 6 people found this review helpful. Could the key to finding a treasure have been hidden for centuries on the back of the most famous document in the history of the United States of America? Would not it have been found by now? National Treasure incorprates some real history facts into clues that lead to the place where the founders of the United States hid the treasure, but is it still there? This action packed treasure hunt includes great footage that takes you to settings in Washington, D.C., the Arctic, Philadelphia, New York, and more. Although the movie is mostly fiction, I have found it to be useful in teaching how to determine the facts within fiction. Great fun part of an American Revolution curriculum. I used it in summer schooling a junior high boy and it really helped engage him in the subject of early American history. Review ID: 10000000001244752 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
