National Treasure

Benjamin Franklin Gates has spent his whole life searching for fortunes few dare to believe exist. This time he is after the legendary treasure of the Knights Templar, 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's found the clue that tells where the treasure lies--a hidden map on the back of the Declaration of Independence. As knowledge of the map spreads to a ruthless adversary, Ben is faced with a terrible dilemma. Either Ben must be first to steal America’s most sacred document or let it fall into enemy hands. In a race against time, his rivals, and the authorities, Gates teams together with his tech-whiz friend Riley and the alluring, but skeptical, National Archives conservator Abigail Chase 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? A high-stakes chase ensues as Ben desperately searches for the truth of the world's greatest lost treasure.
