National Treasure: Synopsis
NATIONAL TREASURE will thrill audiences this holiday season, combining a high-stakes crime caper with a quest for ancient treasure. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Jon Turteltaub have teamed up to bring a fresh adventure story which traverses from 2,000-year-old mysteries to a daring high-tech heist, as the action unfolds against the backdrop of America’s most famous monuments and landmarks.
From the secrets of America’s past comes this action-packed modern-day treasure hunt. Academy Award winner NICOLAS CAGE stars as Benjamin Franklin Gates, who has spent his whole life searching for a fortune few dare to believe exists. This is the legendary Knights Templar Treasure, rumored to be the most awesome bounty in human history, and hidden somewhere in America. For six generations, the Gates family has chased after clues left behind by America’s Founding Fathers and scoured the nation in search of the treasure.
Now the maverick Ben Gates has made a breakthrough. At last, he knows where the ultimate hint to the treasure’s location lies: a hidden map on the back of the Declaration of Independence. As knowledge of the map spreads to a ruthless adversary (SEAN BEAN), Ben is faced with a terrible dilemma. Either Ben must be first to steal America’s most sacred document -- one guarded by the most sophisticated security in the world -- or let it fall into dangerous hands.
In a race against time, his rivals and the authorities, Gates teams together with his tech-whiz friend Riley (JUSTIN BARTHA) and the alluring, but unwitting, National Archives conservator Abigail Chase (DIANE KRUGER) to accomplish the unthinkable. Will they succeed in pulling off one of the most ambitious heists of all time? Will the Declaration of Independence lead Ben closer to the treasure? In one twisting, turning cliffhanger after another -- from the ventilation shafts of the National Archives to the catacombs beneath New York City -- the answers are revealed as Ben Gates unlocks the mystery behind America’s greatest NATIONAL TREASURE.

Excellent movie with the producer Jerry Bruckheimer and the filmmaker Jon Turteltaub. With Nicholas Cage as Benjamin Franklin Gates, Diane Kruger as Annabeth Chase, Justin Bartha as Riley Poole, Sean Bean as Ian Howe and Jon Voight as Patrick Gates. Best Disney Movie of 2004! With the soundtrack of Trevor Rabin (Renny Harlin's collaborator).
