Modern treasure hunters, led by archaeologist Ben Gates, search for a chest of riches rumored to have been stashed away by George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin during the Revolutionary War. The chest's whereabouts may lie in secret clues embedded in the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, and Gates is in a race to find the gold before his enemies do.

As Good As It Gets
This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
This, along with the Mummy films (not counting Tomb of the Dragon Emperor and the Tom Cruise version), is one of my favorite Indiana Jones-styled action thrillers. Set in the modern US, it shows us the adventures (and misadventures) of a descendant of American relic seekers who makes it his mission to find the treasure of the Founding Fathers of the United States via the Declaration of Independence. It's not as memorable as Indiana Jones or the Mummy films, but it's good as an adventure yarn. I liked this better than the second one, which, apart from the Mount Rushmore part, was forgettable. Give this a chance and forget the other Indy clones. But as least keep the Indy films close to your heart. And make the Mummy films second. Okay?
This movie is incredibly unrealistic. This is both its biggest strength and its biggest flaw. It is very well made, but you need to really suspend your disbelief. However, the movie is incredibly fun, and the acting is quite good (though not exceptional). See it if you like fun, silly movies, don't if you like serious, realistic plots.
National Treasure was released in 2004 and stars Nicolas Cage,Diane Kruger and Justin Bartha and tells the tale of a man named Benjamin Franklin Gates(Cage)who specializes in finding treasure since he is a treasure hunter. But when his friend played by Sean Bean disobeys him Gates has no choice but to retrieve the treasure himself along with Abigal Gates and Justin Bartha's character as Gates found an invisible map under the declaration of independence article. But with a blast from Benjamin's past will he and his co mates find the missing treasure with the invisible map they found hidden under the declaration of independence? Overall I really enjoyed this movie. I always had a soft spot for Nicolas Cage. You could say his a guilty pleasure actor for me as the guy was great in this film. The cinematography was great and the score was very good too. Also starring Angelina Jolie's father Jon Voight and a brief cameo by Christopher Plummer from The Sound Of Music; National Treasure gets a B+
This my first such movie about treasure hunt, I feel like I want be an archaeologist. The main actor hunts for the treasure with his partner and a lady who works at the museum. He over come many obstacles to find the treasure. I like sidekick character Riley because he is so funny. The movie was good than I thought.I am very eager to watch the second part.
