     National Treasure
2004  PG  ACTION  2h 11min
CAST— Nicolas Cage, Diane Kruger, Jon Voight, Sean Bean, Christopher Plummer, Harvey Keitel, Hunter Gomez, Justin Bartha
MUSIC— Trevor Rabin  DIRECTOR— Jon Turteltaub

     Got a dollar? If so you have a clue to the location of the greatest treasure in history, amassed over the centuries by the dominant world powers, passed from one culture to another, now hidden on American soil. History buff/treasure hunter Benjamin Gates has devoted his life to the pursuit of this elusive fortune. He discovers that a crucial clue may be hidden on the flip side of The Declaration of Independence; he decides to steal it before his villainous ex-partner gets to it first. But the feds are hot on his trail; he needs every clue he can find on this nationwide treasure hunt. Nicolas Cage is perfect in the role of Gates, as are the majority of the cast. Gates is no Indiana Jones but the film should entertain those in the mood for a good pseudo history lesson.
OUR RATING— ** ½
FOLLOWED BY— National Treasure: Book of Secrets (2007)
