National Treasure (Nicolas Cage)

Academy Award winner Nicolas Cage stars as the brilliant Benjamin Franklin Gates, third generation treasure hunter. All his life, Gates has been searching for a treasure no one believed existed: amassed through the ages, moved across continents, to become the greatest treasure the world has ever known. Hidden by our Founding Fathers, they left clues to the Treasure's location right before our eyes... from our nation's birthplace to the nation's capitol, to clues buried within the symbols on the dollar bill.

Gates' life-long journey leads him to the last place anyone thought to look: a map hidden on the back of the Declaration of Independence. But what he thought was the final clue is only the beginning. As word of the invisible map spreads among the enemies of freedom, Gates realizes in order to protect the world's greatest treasure, he must now do the unthinkable: steal the most revered, best guarded document in American history before it falls into the wrong hands.

In a race against time, Gates teams up with a beautiful government official (Diane Kruger) as he tries to elude his ruthless adversary (Sean Bean) as well as the FBI and Agent Sadusky (Harvey Keitel). With even his ex-treasurehunter father (Jon Voight) skeptical of him, Gates must decipher the remaining clues and unlock the 2000 year-old mystery behind our greatest national treasure.
