Benjamin Franklin Gates (Nicolas Cage), third-generation treasure hunter, has been searching for a great treasure hidden by America’s Founding Fathers. Gates’s pursuit leads him to an incredible clue—a secret message hidden on the back of the Declaration of Independence. When confronted with a rival treasure hunter (Sean Bean), Gates realizes that, in order to protect the world’s greatest treasure, he must now steal the most revered, best-guarded document in American history before it falls into the wrong hands. Also stars Diane Kruger, Justin Bartha, and Jon Voight. (2004; 131 mins.; rated PG)
